Lecture on growing Apricots in cold climates
http://online.sfsu.edu/~patters/culi...oporigins.html
http://www.sproutfarms.com/apricot.htm I believe apricots came from extremely cold zones. like 1-2 and have been bred to be heat tolerant. they are bred to take low chill requirements or they wont flower in warmer climates. my understanding was "early springs" with late frosts were the major problem. that is why delaying bud breaking was so important. Ingrid Sherwin Dubren wrote: Reading some of these replies on this thread, I am surprised that people do not make distinctions about different varieties of apricots. Like any other plant, there are types which can be bred to be cold tolerant. To say one has had bad experiences with apricots does not have meaning unless you tell us which variety was planted. I have not heard Robert's talk yet, but I believe he has developed at least 7 new kinds of cold tolerant apricots. What happens to less tolerant apricots is that the cold and wind of the winter kills the buds. Of course, if the blossoms come out and then there is a frost, it will probably kill any kind of blossom.
