Apricot

[headgroundsman]

I have been asked to cut an apricot tree quite hard as it is getting too big for the garden. Is this something I could do now and how will it responed to hard pruning. 

ps. no apricots for several years

Not something I've ever encountered so I cheated...

The fact that there have been no fruit for a while is of concern:  I'd suggest a low nitrogen feed at the time of pruning.

I’ve cut my apricot really hard it still live it flowers on one year old wood so maybe a bit late if fruit is required apricot flowers very early during the year some protection from frost is usually required and hand pollinating due to lack of insects

...which would probably explain the lack of fruit in the OP's case.
