Fall is best for planting, since you don't have to water it as much.We placed fish guts in the hole and is about 6 feet tall by now. It is growing like crazy, we had to trim it 4 times already. No fruit yet, we had frost this spring right at the flowering time. So we hope for next spring. Can't wait to taste the fruits. We had our apricot trees before, but sold the house right after we had fruits. Excellent apricots. Since then, we're spoiled, last time we got them at the grocery store had to throw them out, fake apricots.
Wish you good weather,
Adrian
