Phil@Tyalgum says... Glengarry is quite a large tree but the flavour of the fruit is only fair - haven't seen or tasted a Bentley so far. Hey the Passiflora antioquiensis seedlings didn't survive repotting so sorry I didn't get around to dropping off any. Have some more seed in but not hopeful... I think they're a little difficult to get right. | About the Author TyalgumPhil Murwillumbah 1st July 2010 10:02pm #UserID: 960 Posts: 1377 View All TyalgumPhil's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Hi - so which is the best apricot for flavour? I have only heard Moorpark? Like many people - I like the small ones with the red blush and the intense flavour. I am not sure if mine a Newcastle or Glengarry (had both, one died) but it does zip. 3 yrs old and 5 flowers first time this spring just gone - no fruit. It's the only tree I am having this problem with - so it's not it's care/diet. Is it too warm here maybe? | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

Jason says... Moorpark early is pretty good (better than Moorpark which is also pretty good) but I think Newcastle early is better, we have maybe 6 or so varieties here and Newcastle early is the best, but as usual with life nothing ever goes to plan for long and it's also the hardest tree to keep disease out of. I had another Apricot tree at a house I I rented that was even better than that but the graft I took of it before I left died grrrr I think the tree is gone now. I don't know if it was a seedling or grafted tree either. But the good news is that there are better Apricots around than the common ones :). Divinty is not too bad either, Trevatt is complete rubbish, you think Apricots from the shops are rubbish because they are picked to early until you realise the varieties they are selling are still rubbish straight from the tree :D | About the Author Jason10 Portland, Vic 5th July 2010 2:20am #UserID: 3853 Posts: 218 View All Jason10's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Ta Jason..yes the shop ones are appalling aren't they..! I get sick of paying good money for stone fruit that is crap when I get it home - what really ticks me off is the nectarines that have been kept in cold storage for so long that they are floury and inedible - just so they can charge a higher price post-season. I started taking them back this year as my protest! It's a hassle though. | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

Rev says... If anyone goes through a small town called boyanup, 20km east of bunbury. check if theres any trees around town esp near the church. see if you can find seedlings or Pits - or lucker still - fruits I have no idea where it came from but they seem to be seedlings and grow very well My grandmother had a giant tree maybe 60+ years old. On one lower limb it had apricots the size of smaller peaches - in hindsight it was a budsport maybe, might have been valuable! anyway the new owner chopped it down. Im just hoping a few trees have survived development and remain. If you like apricots youl love these, they are full flavoured and very orange the area isnt that cold so ill presume medium chill 400-600 hours | About the Author Rev North qld 10th July 2010 5:32pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |
