We planted this tree four years ago and last week in the glorious sunny weather the buds started to open. I took the picture on Saturday when it was cold, grey and damp. Not a pollinator in sight, so I don’t think I’m going to be making apricot jam this year.
Last year there were just a few flowers, progressing to six tiny green fruits which promptly dropped off. I still live in hope of apricots in Manchester.
