Yes, I have one growing in the ground. Its a fast and vigorous grower, I like the look of the plant. No fruit as of yet, but I don't think it will be very long for that.
thanks Nullz,I believe the tree can survive a freeze no problem, and can even survive a hard freeze by resprouting from the roots. So if temps go below 28F, i'd probably cut them back and pile compost over them, and then cover with frostcloth

According to this pdf; http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/sustainag/extn_pub/fruitpubs/tropical-apricot.pdf
Nullz,glad to see the FL apricot looks good, I took the cuttings from my friends tree....the fruit is decent, and easy as heck to grow...nice tart sweet flavor, and doesn't have fully formed seeds...and also has reduced thorns, compared to other Dovyalis.I have a batch of these left in one gallon pots, I need to plant at least 4 of them at the new location!
