Indoor Apricot. How to propagate.
Planting stock with a young green bark, friable wood and having huge sizes frequently disappoint not very “wise” gardener, having died suddenly in a severe winter…
Delicate southern planting stock badly strikes root in cold conditions, especially if the matter is about sweet cherry and an apricot. But there is a simple way out: you may receive good and strong planting stock, having sown clingstones of these trees on a bed in your own garden.
An apricot-tree should be sown in the autumn in distances 25-30 centimeters between rows and 15-20 in a row. The next year planting stock should be planted farther apart.
With a sweet cherry the matter is little bit more difficult. Sweet cherries’ stones demand long stratification, that is keeping in damp sand in a refrigerator (temperature from 0 to 5 degrees C). During stratification the sand should be damp.
