Apricots


Last year we bought a dozen fruit trees from Aldi and one of those trees was an Apricot. All of the other trees went into our mini orchard or were cordoned along fencing and all actually gave a fruit or two that year. The apricot however remained a bit sullen despite being fan trained and in a pot full of quality medium.
However, this year we have a couple of dozen flowers which I have pollinated with a small paint brush, so hopefully we may get to eat an apricot this year, frosts permitting.
