No apricots on tree ever

Question

I have a really nice big apricot tree it’s 6 years old and of the variety that needs no pollination tree the first two years no fruit so decided to plant another one 4 years later the second one has had fruit every year but the first one still no fruit any suggestions should we jut give upon it or ?

Answer 1

Some apricots will only survive down to zone 5 and any temperatures that are abnormally cold can halt fruiting. Were the two trees the exact same cultivar? If not, I would suspect that the tree that is fruiting is a little more cold hardy than the one not fruiting.
