Apricots

extent, you should pick the fully ripened fruit from your own tree. 
From the delicious fresh fruit or the delectable preserves they make, 
you obtain a new taste thrill. The Apricot adapts itself to a wide range 
of climatic conditions. The tree bears well from San Diego to the 
Oregon line. The handsome deep green foliage of the Apricot tree 
makes it ideal for the small back yard.
