Cream and Apricot flowers
Comments (11)Hello there Little Digger Its always been the way that we can't post again within a certain period of time using the same subject line. Its a pain when you want to add something to the post you just sent - type it all out and then have it rejected. Been there - done that :( Half the time you forget exactly what you wanted to add!! :)) Cathy...See MoreApricot tree flowered pink? Can any body help ID this tree
Comments (32)I still think it was you but don't remember that much if kids were there. Wife black straight hair? Last Saturday at the Devonian gardens we talked about prunus Siberica and thought it to be a rather minor deviation of prunus Manchirica. Even though Siberica is likely to carry over the pink I still have one reserved thought that Robert Purvis knows of about Siberica. That it is an incredibly slow grower and is dwarf. Robert used to live in Alaska and in Idaho still does nothing but apricot in one of his collections in Washington. Gabe Botar was at the gardens who is another person knowing a great deal about apricot. He had scions of a prolific dwarf apricot with small good tasting fruits that he produced from crossed parents. Good stuff because slow growing and dwarf is always great for extreme cold or unprotected sites. For example flowering under the snow would delay bloom and escape the damaging spring frosts. If Clair Lammers (formerly from Edmonton) from Alaska ever grew Gabes apricot he would at least had fruits from this where all other his Manchurica experiments failed. My grandfather may have been around as a retired forester at the time those were planted and lived very close by. Only a remote possibility exists. I came across the trees a few years ago because I wanted to visit my childhood memories of the wading pool that still there in that place and not that anybody told me. Who ever planted them it seems very possible it was done from self pollinated Goldcot seeds similar the way you collected from the pink tree the seeds for another generation....See MoreApricot tree dropping flower buds - cause?

Comments (3)That’s very weird. It looks like a case of fasciation in the apical meristem (growing tip). Causes are various but could be hormonal or cold or other damage. It won’t grow out so you’d need to cut the stem back to normal growth....See MoreMichelle Zone 3 - Mile -0- City
