apricot tree without flowers or fruits
Not sure why my apricot tree will not flower or fruit. Is it a
question of maturity or have I not found the optimum condition for it? Thanks in advance. Lil |

full size fruit trees can require 3-5 years before they produce blossoms. pears take
even longer. what kind of an apricot, where did you get it from? Ingrid (Lil) wrote: Not sure why my apricot tree will not flower or fruit.

apricot tree without flowers or fruits
Hit it with a baseball bat when it should be flowering the next time (I would
guess next spring). Hitting a tree with a baseball bat when a tree should be flowering and isn't, some how shocks the tree into flowering sometimes. Someone on this group thought that hitting the tree would injure the cambium layer of the tree and the tree would work harder to repair that injury and thus get the sap to flow more vigorously. I know people this has worked for. If the tree won't flower, ya just might want to take a swing at it. Marty Lil wrote: Don't precisely remember what kind of apricot since the tag fell off.

From: "Martin C. Jensen"
Hit it with a baseball bat when it should be flowering the next time Lil, take that baseball bat and smack martin with it. It will probably do more good than hitting your tree with it. Horticultural voodoo usually dosent hold much validity. If your tree is small, youd probably end up breaking the tree in half. Apricots are sensitive to late spring frosts. If the buds were swelling and there was a frost, there is a good chance that they got nipped and this is why you had no flowers or fruit. Toad |

Toad Not much validity, but this practice works when all else has failed. And if you would swing at the tree hard enough to break it then your not thinking plus this tree is 4 -5 years old. While hitting a tree may not appease the horticultural gods (toad), if you have nothing else to lose what the heck, this has worked. If everything were by the book it would take some of the fun out of gardening. Marty (by no means a horticultural god) |

A Horticultural God!
You don't like this idea because it could work and it has in the past. If you can prove me wrong I'll listen but I have seen this work and you have done nothing but poke fun at it. Usually the sign of .... You win the argument, I've had enough and said all I wanted to about this.
