Default identify - apricot or cherry
Hi

Sounds silly, but bought two at the same time and not sure which is which.

Anyone know what this is?

Thanks

Morris

Problem is An Apricot is a member of the cherry Family, so the leaves will be practically Identical.

However a cherry would be showing fruits by now.

What do you have on yours..??

No fruit this year as the flowers did not set.

I didnt get flowers either

Do you think either of them will need much winter pruning in their first year anyway?

thanks

No they are rather different looking. Can't see from the photo as I can't see a whole leaf.
