Back briefly for apricot advice please
I'm in inner city Leeds, Yorkshire so there's no point in southerners
bothering to reply - conditions are very different :-) I want to get an apricot tree, I'm assured that they will produce fruit here if grown in a protected, sunny site. I can do that but not with a wall behind it, which is recommended, unless we build one which would have to be done from the friendly neighbour's garden. He's co-operative and wants to build a garage in that spot anyway - eventually. The site is reasonably sheltered and gets full sun (when it's out!). The local temperature is higher than in less built-up regions. Would it help to put a temporary panel of a less heat retentive material - wood, plastic, glass - until a wall can be built? Would the panel (hem!) advise training the apricot as a fan or other shape or having it as a small tree? I'd prefer it to be flat against the fence/wall. Do I need to know anything else? Mary |
