Planting fruit trees

Question

I have 2 established peach trees and just bought my first apricot tree. I am wanting to plant it close, in the orchard, but don’t want to jeopardize the apricot fruit by making peachcots. Should I worry or maybe plant it in another area alone?

Answer 1

If they cross pollinate, you will only see the results in the next seeds fruits. So as long as you are not planting the seeds from them, then there is not a risk of the fruit being changed. You are safe to plant it near your other trees.
