I doubt freezing is your problem. Your apricot sounds like a bacterial disease. I lost one here over about five years of cutting back dying branches until I removed the tree. I planted a new one in a new location and it has done very well with no disease problems. I removed my nectarine after about 10 years because it required more spraying than I was willing to do. Al

well, it looks like it was a "Suprise" Christmas Gift! Surprises are sometimes better then what you thought the gift was going to be.

The way I have found to post a follow-up to my own previous post is......Log Off GW. Shut down Internet Explorer. Let it cool for a few minutes. Reopen IE, Go to the thread again, sign on and then write the follow-up. Usually works just fine doing that. There might be a reason that one person can't just post a number of responses....one right after another. The system is designed to stop one person from 'spamming' a topic? However, it is frustrating when one wants to correct something immediately after they hit the submit button. Jan
