Apricot Rootstocks

Hi. I am planting 50 apricot trees that I’m growing from seeds — Armenikos (Brought them from Armenia) I am new in this field.

Question: Do I need rootstock for these apricots? If yes what kind? Please give me detailed information and explanation about these rootstocks,

Best regards,

Thank you.

You do not need another rootstock unless you are trying to breed for specific disease resistances. They can grow on their natural rootstock just fine.

I found this article that discusses rootstock options. It seems that apricot seedlings that are not grafted, have a higher rate of pest and disease, specifically root knot nematode and crown gall disease. http://fruitandnuteducation.ucdavis.edu/fruitnutproduction/Apricot/Apricot_scions__rootstock/ ^[1]
