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.

Blenheims are famous for canker around here, and I wouldn't plant nor graft any Blenheims. So you could have a reservoir of canker on the stock. But I am not sure if it would be the same in your case. Over here, the Blenheims rarely every bear crops. All pluots that I have experimented on are vigorous on apricots, much more so with Apriums that they seem to take over the apricot that you gaft them to. Japanese plums (aka Asian) will also be just right on Apricots (not too vigorous as pluots or apriums would be). Actually the Asian plums were called Japanese plums, and the Japanese plums did not really originate from Japan but from China. As credit to the Japanese, they were the ones who worked hard to improve most of the plums that originally came from China, so the world has known them to be Japanese plums. Now to prevent confusion between origins from China or Japan, we simply call them Asian plums. The European plums, excepting for very few types, are usually poor growers or incompatible on my apricots. I will be experimenting with Nanking Cherry if I can do a lot of prunus cultivar grafts on it. I love its small stature. If you really want many species grafted successfully together on one tree, I would rely on using apriums as the stock or interstem. These interstems first grows upright after grafting and so easy to position and receive various grafts on a tree without them crossing over, minimizing competition and agressive pruning to keep the grafted cultivars balanced.

Would like to try seeds of Montrose or Harglow Apricot. Can trade a few seedlings of Damson x Italian Plum. Also have a lot of grape hybrid seeds.

So far it's been all Flavor Treat, fruitnut,with six popping up.I'm happy,but I think I read in some of your previous posts that it takes quite awhile for the fruit to mature. Well,I'm making a small greenhouse and possibly we'll have a summer to remember in the Pacific Northwest one of these years and I'll get some fruit. Thanks again,Brady
