Wanted: Disease resistant apricot variety

rosefolly
16 years ago

I'd like some advice on a replacement variety. My Goldkist apricot is afflicted with severe gumosis. I have been spraying and pruning for a couple of years but it is not improving. No doubt it is my own fault -- I missed spraying one year. Now I see a huge eruption of mushrooms coming from the base as well as fresh sap which I observed when I went out to spray today. It's not dead yet, and we may or may not get a crop this year, but I think a new apricot is in order.

Can someone suggest a more resistant variety for me to plant? When I chose Goldkist it was described as 'disease resistant', but clearly it is not disease resistant enough.

Thanks
