Mine is in a south facing bed and I live in north Notts. I inherited the tree with my house so I have no idea of the variety. It is really special to eat an apricot straight from the tree, the tree came into full blossom three weeks ago and we have missed the frosts, fingers crossed for this years crop.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573558054295759199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-48379153623675415402014-03-27T05:53:06.812+00:002014-03-27T05:53:06.812+00:00I need to learn this.... does it work out a lot ch...I need to learn this.... does it work out a lot cheaper?

I also want to sell fruit trees in the future, so having a large number of different types gives me lots of choice of different types of trees to sell.Kev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-27171943736975624712014-03-25T21:07:26.594+00:002014-03-25T21:07:26.594+00:00This varieity is meant to be leaf curl resistant b...This varieity is meant to be leaf curl resistant but time will tell on that one! I'm planning on having these growing under glass as cordons when I put up my big greenhouse so hopefully it should make it a bit warmer for them and they might fruit. It's only a bit of an experiment so if they don't it's not the end of the world.Kev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-54070508104583478082014-03-25T21:05:07.215+00:002014-03-25T21:05:07.215+00:00Not a stupid question at all, it took me a bit of ...Not a stupid question at all, it took me a bit of time to find good suppliers.
