I lost my Moorpark Apricots to fluctuating temperatures, this year.
Not uncommon here in Illinois. My plums, peaches,

sour cherries, pears, and apples seem to be blossoming out ok.


I am surprised your apricots outlasted your peaches. You must have
a very late blooming apricot, as most of the

apricots here are the first to flower out.
