I had some lovely apricots, of several varieties, at a plum tasting at Brogdale in Kent last year. The trees were grown in the general shelter of a hedge but otherwise in the open. I don't know whether the crop is reliable year after after year- my guess is not. -- Anton |

" ~ rob ~" wrote in message Anybody here having success with Apricots in the UK? Talk to me about it? We had a tree for many years which was planted against a S. facing fence which it outgrew. Despite living in a warm part of the UK we still suffered with late frosts taking the blossom and only got a few fruit in total. It was eventually struck by lightening, and serves it right. :-) There is a town in Oxfordshire called Aynho where the local Squire had such a passion for Apricots he made all his tenants plant them against their property, last time I drove through (a few years ago) some still had Apricot trees outside their houses. Must be old trees now. Presumably they successfully fruited. -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |
