History: Crossed by Richard Leyne of Harrow, Ontario, Canada in 1979. Apricot Growing Tips: Prune only in early summer as part of fruit thinning during intensive growing years or after picking during years of light cultivation. If there is no harvest, do not prune. Apricots do not suffer from peach curl disease, but be aware that they contract bacterial canker quite badly in prolonged wet weather. Growing in pots is acceptable provided there is even humidity. Good drainage is essential and for best success a south wall is perfect...they deserve a prime position!
