White Apricot 'Moniqui'

Richard · 10-02-2009, 10:28 PM

If anyone is growing the white apricot variety 'Moniqui', I'd like to know about the growth habit, the fruit production, the zone you are in, etc.

Thanks!

Richard, I have had good luck with them in New Mexico 75 miles southeast of Gallup. The only thing the tree needed there was a lot of water, everyday from very early spring through the picking season. Gave abuntantly of delicious juicy fruit. I apologize for not knowing the zone. Hope that helps. I am no longer in NM I am in Ecuador now. Good luck, you won't be sorry for the efforts, time and water that you spend on the tree, because it will pay you back.

Do you have a that tree growing in your yard Richard? I have 4 kinds of apricot grafted in my plout tree and are avid fruit producers started last year. I am wondering if I can have a branch from you sometime in the future.
I am planning to see you at Encinitas Leucadia Farmers Market on Sunday October 25.

Benny, the 'Moniqui' is one of nine apricots I am considering. I will establish them as "mother plants" for scion wood. There are 2 other whites, 2 blacks, and the remainder orange-flesh fruits.
