Apricot Tree by loweygrace

Apricot Tree

Our old apricot tree had to be removed! It was too close to our house and becoming destructive. It was planted 70 years ago by the original owners and we slowly realized it’s roots were overtaking the block wall and our foundation. The neighborhood looked forward to it’s juicy, bountiful fruit and mourned with us. We kept many pencil- width branches, applied root growth and planted them in a large pot... hoping that one would grow into to tree that we’ll plant in an area for it to expand as wide as it wants!
I’m surprised by the hollow trunk and hope one or more of the branches will flourish!

@jacqbb We were so surprised by that trunk too! It’s amazing that the fruit was always so delicious!

It definitely needed to come down but an Apricot tree would be a lovely thing to have in a garden.

Amazing to find the hollow core to the tree trunk ! It had obviously given its best years -- oh and I love apricots !

What an amazing shot, never seen such a hollow trunk before. Here's hoping that you soon will have some new trees.
