I've noticed that the garden centres are selling fruit trees and I'm waiting for the apricots to appear - but which type do I get ? They are for eating straight from the tree rather than bottling or jam making. Suggestions please ?

I thought apricots liked a colder climate. Auckland has the peach stone borer which can decimate stone fruit.

Moorpark is the best tasting I think. They have quite a tangy but sewwt flavour. We had a tree when I was a kid and it was very prolific fruiting.

If you're in Auckland (as your profile shows) you need to get an apricot that will do well with less chilling hours. Royal Rosa, Trevatt, Katycot, Aprigold dwarf, or Fitzroy. These are the ones I buy in for our nursery up in Whangarei when I can get them.

Mmm Morpark beautiful old variety. We have a Clutha Late producing well here, quite ordinary to look at but beautiful to eat or for cooking.
