Would love to see this tree in bloom or with fruit!

Ah, so all your apricots are in the greenhouse? I am still trialling in ground. Have you had fruit in prior years and if so how have your varieties compared?
Good luck for 2025!
These are apricots started from seed, from what I have read apricots come pretty true from seed but I could be wrong. Yes they are in the greenhouse, but it is unheated in the winter and the trees not wrapped just out in the cold, so -40C + is what the temps can get down to. I do bring in about a foot of snow to cover the roots. With that I have had almost zero tip die. So IMO these are pretty hardy. That said this will be the first year for fruit, they are about 6 years old. I was going to rip them out last year as I thought this experiment was a bust.
I will add that if these apricots turn out to be a good variety I am going to graft to rootstock outside of the greenhouse to really test them.
