Would like to trade for a Montrose or Harglow Apricot Seedling. I have some good Damson Plum Seedlings and a fine yellow fruited Italian Plum seedling. Prefer one year old small seedlings, cheaper to mail and they survive better.

I try to get seeds of this every year, and it seems almost impossible, but just on the long shot, does anyone have seeds of Montrose Apricot to trade/share? of all the Apricots, it is the most adapted to the Maritime Northwest climate.

I'm looking for a few seeds of the "Montrose" apricot. Does anyone grow this tree, and if so, do you have any seeds/pits from it?

Toss them in your prefered seed germination mix, in a sandwich baggie, then put it in the fridge for 2 or 3 months. This is called stratification, and breaks dormancy amungst other things. Take them out when the nights dont go below freezing and put them in semi shade. Once you see roots (they germinate in the fridge sometimes), pt them up individually and put them in some semi shade for the first year or 2. I wont step into the whole "do they come true from seed" debate, but its a 50/50 chance youll get something desierable if the apricot you are growing is a hybrid.
