Tommoz says... I would advise 'Katy' but I don't know if it is available in Australia. Blenheim (Royal) would be my next choice. Then I'd advise the aprium 'cot n candy.' It is mostly apricot with some plum genes. You can get it from Swane's nursery. You could graft on an apricot variety to help with pollination. | About the Author Tommoz Dural 1st October 2013 4:49am #UserID: 7219 Posts: 340 View All Tommoz's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tommoz says... Sydney is a marginal climate for apricots so there really isn't a lot of room for formulation. It has to be low chill and as someone already mentioned Glengarry/Newcastle has a poor record. I think you are exaggerating the difference between a Californian and Sydney climate for apricots. | About the Author Tommoz Dural 1st October 2013 5:55pm #UserID: 7219 Posts: 340 View All Tommoz's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... 'being early maturing is never as good as the later varieties'. I have to disagree, Newcastle has absolutely the best flavour of any apricot I've eaten. The taste spoils you for any later maturing types. The fruits are maybe a little small, which is probably why it's no longer grown commercially. But I would sacrifice size for flavour any day. It makes the best jam, and dozens of people agreed, when I used to make and sell jam. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 2nd October 2013 7:15pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |
