Brown thumb needs help on planting apricot seeds.

Which Bay Area? Tampa Bay Area? Chespeake Bay Area? Galveston Bay Area?

Which Bay Area? Tampa Bay Area? Chesapeake Bay Area? Galveston Bay Area?

Nice sig.

Just Google "Bay Area" you'll find San Francisco.

Now this is settled, could someone offer some advice on the original request or am I in the wrong group to ask?

"We have an established apricot tree and greenhouse in the Bay Area. So is it possible to take the exiting seeds and grow more trees with apricot fruits?"

Frank, I think you meant to write black thumb... brown thumb conjures up entirely different gardening. hehe

The taste (and fruit size, etc) of seed-grown apricots won't necessarily match the parents.

(well, that's the general answer for most plants which are customarily propagated by grafts and other vegetative means, I don't really know about apricots in particular).

You can always try it.

As for getting the seeds to sprout and grow (that is, whether they need chilling or other treatment), that too tends to vary from plant to plant (and I don't know about apricots).

Buying a small tree is probably a safer course, but it all depends on your preference.

Ok, I'm learning. Black thumb, brown thumb, green thumb and even "shorts in a twist."

This is a favorite dictionary...
