I planted a Bleinheim apricot from Clintons (buyplantsonline.com - yes, I know it's a suspicious sounding name, but they seem very nice folk) a year and a half ago, and it has flourished like a green bay tree in zone 6b, growing like a weed. It's planted in an open area where the sea winds beat some plants to shreds.

It's pricey because it's shipped in the soil its grown in, but that seems to give it a real head start over bare root twigs.
