Title: Field Performance and Survivability Apricot Cultivars in Southern New Jersey
Author: J.L. Frecon
Abstract:
A study was conducted on an old peach
orchard site near Mullica Hill, in Southern New
Jersey, comparing tree longevity, flower, fruit
and tree characteristics of 21 apricot cultivar
rootstock/combinations.
Trees of 'Veecot' on
apricot and 'Harcot' on apricot lived significantly
longer than 'Stella on Lovell peach.
'Traverse' on apricot lived significantly longer
than 'Harcot' on apricot. 'Jerseycot' on peach
lived significantly longer than NJ A38 on peach.
No other significant differences were noted in
tree longevity.
No differences were recorded in
other charactristics because of heavy tree loss
after -10°C temperatures on March 12, 1985
following a sustained period of unseasonably
warm temperatures.
Other characteristics were
observed and recorded on most cultivars.
