Brown thumb needs help on planting apricot seeds.
We have an established apricot tree and greenhouse in the Bay Area. So is it
possible to take the exiting seeds and grow more trees with apricot fruits? |

Just Google "Bay Area" you'll find San Francisco. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...ea&btnG=Search If its makes any difference we are located in the Livermore, Dublin (South Bay Area) CA. Now this is settled, could someone offer some advice on the original request or am I in the wrong group to ask? "We have an established apricot tree and greenhouse in the Bay Area.

Brown thumb needs help on planting apricot seeds.
We have an established apricot tree and greenhouse in the Bay
Area. So is it possible to take the exiting seeds and grow more trees with apricot fruits? The taste (and fruit size, etc) of seed-grown apricots won't necessarily match the parents. (well, that's the general answer for most plants which are customarily propagated by grafts and other vegetative means, I don't really know about apricots in particular). You can always try it. As for getting the seeds to sprout and grow (that is, whether they need chilling or other treatment), that too tends to vary from plant to plant (and I don't know about apricots). Buying a small tree is probably a safer course, but it all depends on your preference. |

"Shorts in a twist", interesting expression, never heard of it before. Laid back and chill is good, will be over 100 today and cooking in the greenhouse. |
