Tommoz says... It probably is still dormant because it hasn't received enough winter chill, which all stone fruit need. I don't think a Moorpark will ever fruit in Avoca Beach as it is too warm. You might have luck with a low-chill apricot seedling http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/Apricot-Low-Chill.htm or by growing pitomba (which some people compare to an apricot flavour). | About the Author Tommoz Sydney 3rd September 2016 7:06am #UserID: 7219 Posts: 340 View All Tommoz's Edible Fruit Trees |

Don C says... My apricot is one of the last deciduous trees to break dormancy. It still doesn't look like it, although other stone fruits have already set fruit. Especially if it was a present, I wouldn't give up on it setting fruit. You should see the first flowers and fruit 2-4 years after planting. If after this period you have not seen any flowers then consider the alternatives. Newcastle early is often cited as a good low chill apricot, though it is hard to find nowadays. Good luck. Fresh, ripe apricots off the tree are the best. Watch out for fruit fly and possums who both love apricots. | About the Author Don C Karangi 5th September 2016 11:12am #UserID: 9420 Posts: 22 View All Don C's Edible Fruit Trees |
