I wish! It's been in the high 70's and my apricot trees are
in full flower, but we are certain to have more snow and freezes
before June 1 in the Denver area. Too bad, because the trees
are loaded with blossoms and abuzz with bees.

We have grown them from seed and the squirrels and birds
feast on them, dropping ripe seeds so they essentially
self-seed for a few years if you are careful when tilling.
