A:  no good

A:  the tree Dead after a year

A:  Its label shows only dwarf, I would have to assume it is a seni-dwarf. Also a genetic dwarf tree is usually a lot more expensive than what I paid.

A:  Dear Zuki, If you live in Southern California I would assume you have very few if any hard freezes during the Winter. If that is the case I would recommend that the Apricot tree be planted now. Even though it is Winter you will have many days of warm weather where the root system will get established and be ready for beautiful growth in the Spring. Best Wishes!

A:  I got one last year, planted it in Feb , grew up tall but no fruit the first year yet, it’s dormant right now , waiting for weather to warm 

A:  plant it now

A:  I planted my tree not long after I got it in November. As long as frost isn’t in the forecast, I would say plant it. Mine has grown quite a lot and would like to see some fruit maybe this year!

A:  Hello - Since I previously purchased a DBA I was asked to answer your question. However, I live in upstate New York; quite a different environment from Southern California. Nevertheless, having planted hundreds of trees and looking at the temperature statistics in your area, I would highly recommend you plant your new tree right away. And as long as temperatures are above 40 and you do not have any rain, I would water your tree at least once a week for the first couple of months. Also consider whether or not you should put some kind of protective barrier around your new tree; where I live if you do not put a protective wire or plastic cage around your new trees the deer or some other critter will damage them before they have a chance to grow large enough to be safe from most critters. The DBA provides some very tasty fruit if you take good care of it, so you have some delicious fruit to look forward to. Around here it is 12 degrees this morning, with lots of snow on the ground. Good luck with your new tree and Happy New Year! Al :-)
