Apricot Seedlings

Last July, while visiting Chuck and Nikki in Iowa, we stopped at their friends Jim and Amy to pick Apricots from their trees. We enjoyed the fresh apricots so much I decided to try to propagate some apricot trees from some of the apricot pits. To start the germination process I stratified the seeds by placing them in moist paper towels and storing them in the refrigerator for 12 weeks, until the seeds started to sprout. The sprouted seeds were then placed in potting soil and placed in our solarium. The seedlings are now ready to be placed in a cool location and allowed to go dormant until spring.
