Re: [nafex] Apricots REALLY Rebloom

["Kathleen Meigs" <kmeigs@tcsn.net>]

Don--

My apricots are re-blooming now, many fewer than the first heavy bllom last
month. I haven't observed that happening before and didn't get any apricots
last year...doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Wisteria re-bloomed last year
after the April 19 freeze. It got down to 32 here last night (after a
weekend with 98 degree days) but doesn't seem to have hurt the flowers much.
Pears are extremely heavy set.
