I have a dead one. There are sprouts coming from the root. Does anyone know whether this would be the Morden or other root stock?

Possibly rootstock, I would think known names are grafted, unless it was tissue cultured?

If they are coming out above the graft than that's morden604 . Anything below it will be rootstock. A common rootstock for cots are haggith.

Where did you get the m604 tree from if you don't mind telling. After seeing how well all my westcot have come back I'm interested in the next best variety.

The tree came with the house and died about a year later.

My timing is terrible. Dutch Growers in Regina had them in July. The 604 variety is easy to see on the signs. You could call them and find out who their supplier was and remember that for next season. Sorry I could not have been more help.

I called Dutch growers this early summer and they had not apricot trees at the time I called . I got a new variety two weeks ago that will produce larger apricots

Grandpa's orchard has them this spring, 2015.

Grandpa's is located in Michigan, and doesn't ship to Canada, so that's not going to help Mattpf. Good info for US growers though.

The Greenspot in Brandon has them listed in their catalogue , they may not stock the trees but could probably get them.

I seen something this week here at local garden center it said

Westcot apricot 'M-604 'prunus Manchuria.

Westcot is a seedling of the m604 but I am not sure they are just calling it westcot now? I bought westcot from this place before and it said westcot apricot only.

I'm wondering if this tree is a westcot or m604 the tag had both names on it and maybe they are calling all hardy apricots westcot now? I would love a m604 but left it there because I know the westcot came from a open pollinated seed of the m604 ,I already have 4 westcot trees that all do ok.

Spoke to bylands today and it is just a westcot tree. Glad I didn't buy it
