Apricots

We have three apricot blocks, one of large vase-shaped trees, the main block planted on the 'open V' trellis system, and three rows in our new mixed block planted in 2010. In the trellis block we have used a system called 'horizontal-vertical cordon' to train the trees to fill the trellis space quickly, while keeping the fruit mostly at ground level. This also makes pruning a breeze!
