I have a handful of apricot trees in the Pacific Northwest. They have borne fruit on and off. I noticed last year I had blossom blight. This year I sprayed fungicide from popcorn to petal fall. I still got blossom blight and not a single fruit. Any ideas? Sokkappa
Sorry for the delay to include these links below. Brown Rot of Stone Fruits Brown Rot Blossom and Twig Blight Then just to add in another possible pathogen is this more recent finding which can cause blossom blight on Apricots. Plant Disease Note 2007 | First Report of Blossom Blight and Green Fruit Rot of Sweet Cherry Caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in Oregon The most important fungicide spray for us is right at bud swell - prior to the popcorn stage. I am not opposed to applying a light oil and a fungicide mixed spray during delayed dormant right up to full bloom for Almonds, Peaches, Cherries, Nectarines, certain Plums and Apricots. Jim
