Posts: 43	Japanese Flowering Apricot This year I bought a small apricot that I put into an oversized pot to grow out. I figured it would be a long term investment due to its size, but I was wondering if anyone knew how old these trees are when they start to flower? Its not grafted, just a seedling thats about 4ft tall. I am assumming this is its second or third year. Any insight would be appreciated. __________________ John

I figured I would just let it grow this year, and prune it back when it gets dormant. I have not even decided on a style. I guess I'll think about it over the next six months. I hate to rush into something! Ok I admit it, I am prone to procrastination. Does anyone know it you can air layer these guys. Thanks. __________________ John
