A pricots 
To enjoy the mellow golden goodness of the Apricot to the fullest 
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 and 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.
