Author: O.A. Bradt

Abstract:
At the Horticultural Experiment
Station, Vineland Station 58 varieties
of apricots have been tested since the
station was established in 1906. At the
present time 33 varieties are under
test.
Most of these varieties have come
from the west coast and are not suited
to Ontario conditions.
There are several
reasons why they have not been
successful.
Apricots bloom early in the
spring and often encounter cool wet
weather in our district.
Many of the
present varieties are very subject to
blossom and twig blight and the fruit
is susceptible to brown rot.
Plum curculio
was also a problem until some
of the newer insecticides became available.
