From what I have read Tomcot is one of the better apricots for humid areas. Myro is a good root stock for apricots and should do well in Georgia. Just remember that they bloom early and are will need to be sprayed to help reduce brown rot. They also split bad. I bought one from Bay Laurel and will put it in a container.

Maybe Puget Gold would be worth looking into? It is supposedly the only one that will handle the coastal Pacific Northwest climate, which is similarly humid.

Yes, I've looked at Puget Gold. I'm just afraid it wouldn't be able to handle the heat in the summers here, which can get very, very hot.

i do think I will try Tomcot. Just trying to settle on the other.

Tomcot is partially self fruitful. I have another apricot ordered but they will bloom at different times. May not need the second tree. Robada apricot is suppose to bloom at the same time and is suppose to be good quality apricot.

Does anyone know anything about Brittany Gold? The description says something like "thrives where others won't" but I'm not entirely sure what that means. it takes all the heat and humidity you can throw at it? Or it is winter hardy? or something else?

Tomcot is your best bet, based on what I've seen discussed here for the last 20 years. Winter hardiness won't be a problem for you.

Biggest problem will likely be the fact that they'll probably break dormancy and bloom in February - if not in January. But, you probably don't ever have a frost or freeze after Groundhog Day, do you? Hahahaha.

I think any apricot variety will have no problem with your heat and winter cold, so it really is just the humidity and the various pests/diseases this encourages that you need to worry about. And the early blooming, but that's a problem nearly everywhere you grow it. Sounds like a strong case for tomcat though...

Yep, definitely going to get the Tomcot since it comes recommended so highly from everyone. I was going to get another but maybe I should just see how the Tomcot does first.

At this point, I'm just looking for something that might give a semi-regular crop and won't die on me, so if the Tomcot does well I can branch out from there. And if the Tomcot just hangs on...well, just enjoy whatever it decides to give.

I live in southern NC and have been trying to get apricots for 10 years here. i'm a diehard I guess, unlike the trees! I have tried Wilson Delicious, Goldcot, Moorpark, Puget Gold, Royal, and Blenheim. The Royal is the only one that has stayed a decent size. This spring it finally bloomed some, but a late freeze killed the blooms. The Blenheim bloomed fully, but then the whole tree died back, (maybe brown rot?) A tiny shoot came back, but it's like a sucker, so don't know if it would be true to name if I let it live. The Puget Gold is supposed to thrive where others fail, and it's only 2 yrs old, so giving it a chance. So I'm guessing the problems in NC would be even worse in GA, just to let you know what NOT to try.

What is the best way to control brown rot?

five year moonpark growig nice nicely but no blooming. mild blooming from wilson 3 year old with 10 apricot. had to move . Bou Bought from TY TY a california variety?? bloomed 4 th year and died all of the sudden??!!. Apricot and Georgia two enemies.I live in Atlanta
