Trouble with my Moorpark Apricot (forum)
0 responses
Tassie Mick starts with ...
New to the Forum and was after any suggestion as to what is going on with my Dwarf Moorpark Apricot. Purchased back in 2020 bare rooted along with a Peach Tree. Peach has fruited pretty much since it was put into the ground; however the Apricot has not had one single fruit mature on it since going in, both are planted into the same soil and bed. Bed Ph sits around 6.5-7.0, I have a layer of Coconut Coir (spent Strawberry growing media from a local Berry Farmer), with a layer of Pine Bark Mulch over it. We have a top soil layer of only around 400mm on top of clay, bed is on a slight 5 degree slope and was built up prior to planting. Tree seems to flower as normal, we have plenty of bees around. The fruit starts to form and then when they get to a certain size (less than 1cm) they drop off. I have no idea whats going on, if the Peach did the same I would be thinking that something was wrong in the soil. Any ideas would be appreciated, really would like some fruit from this tree someday.
