Apricot - Trevatt (Grafted) 7/10Itdepends1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4337 days 12hrs Comments: - Planted in the same hole as a Moorpark Apricot and trained to form half of a vase (The moorpark forms the other half). Not fruiting yet- expect the first fruit this year. Heaps of fruit summer 09/10- enought for eating over the relatively short season (hey it is stonefruit after all) but not enough yet for jam Update 2012- fruit fly have been very bad the last few years- hard to keep them out of the apricots. If I don't get a decent crop the coming year I'll take the apricots out and put something else in. Planted: 2007 Height 2 metres Qty: 1 Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Spring Pruned By: 25% in Autumn and Winter Pollination: Self Pollination When I Fertilise: Spring Pest Control: Fruit fly plus bordeaux spray in winter just before bud burst Organic Status:Pesticides Used Was this review helpful?

apricot - trevat (Grafted)BJ11_old_address's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4492 days 11hrs Comments: - As they are only babies I removed all the fruit as soon as it set as I want them to get their roots fully established so they can survive the summer!They are being espilared against the fence. A few have been hard hit by the storm and had some unorthordox pruning (thanks Perth storms) - but they seem to have recovered well. All their leaves have been removed for winter and I'm hoping they spring out of dormancy soon) leavs are emerging late September. There are not many flowers - this could be due to Perth storm pruning, or insufficient chill, but a few fruit have set (obviously not enough ... one can never have too many apricots!) I always knew apricots would be a challenge in Perth! I striped the plants of leaves in June. Hopefully they will learn that it is winter and crop in summer (maybe). The first blossom has appeared mid September 2011. It is still just waking up as of mid October 2011. There might be tiny fruitlets (just a few). It would be wonderful to get apricots in Perth (given we have far too few chill hours) Jan 2012 - yummy, yummy, yummy ... fresh apricots are so delicious. The is no danger of an apricot crop in Perth breaking the branches of the tree, but a dozen fruit per tree is a nice treat, and so much more flavour than in the shops. Planted: 2009 Height 1.5 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 4 First Fruited: 6 Months from Purchase in Pot Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Water Given in: Winter Pollination: Self Pollination Pest Control: ladybugs!
