    Hi first time here. Anyway I cut a branch off my Apricot tree this winter, stuck it in some root tone n its actually growing. My question is will it produce fruit or does it need to be grafted. The tree I took this cutting from is grafted. Thank you.

    The cutting should eventually produce fruit identical to the parent, but how well it does depends on many factors. Someone familiar with soil conditions in your area will know if you need a special rootstock.
