Q.
I would like
to plant an apricot tree with my existing pomegranate and orange. I would like one with the larger fruit and
keep the tree to approximately six feet tall with regular pruning. Do you have
any suggesting as to variety and where I can purchase one?

hesitate a little bit just because I don’t know what you’re going to find in
apricots locally. Selection of apricots is quite limited here in Las Vegas. You
might have to order online if they even have left. You might find some Fall leftovers
in the nurseries.

of my favorite apricots that stays about 6 to 7 feet tall and requires little additional
pruning when trained early in its development is Gold Kist apricot grafted on
to Nemaguard rootstock. This is a normal sized apricot tree. The fruit is
excellent.
