Default I had read many years ago that one should not plant apricot trees and?

almond trees near each other as they will cross pollinate and make the apricots taste bad. Is this true?

Almonds bloom rather early, about end of February to beginning of March(http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:QQDAQzdaYY0J:ressources.ciheam.org/om/pdf/c56/01600204.pdf+Flowering+time%2Balmond&hl=de&ct=clnk &cd=6&gl=de) and apricots flowering time is end of March to middle of April (http://www.azaran.org.ir/symposiumcd/papers/Dejampour.htm), so cross pollinating shouldn`t take place.

There is a cultivated variety of apricot, called almond-apricot (Armeniaca amygdalina Dochnahl), a fruit with a soft, edible, almondlike pit, but that isn`t a hybrid of almond and apricot.
