Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hello All, As I was heading back from Eastern Washington Sunday, I discovered some wild apricot trees that had been sufficiently watered (unlike the ones I normally pick from), so the fruit is fully developed and beautifully colored. They're on pasture land, just like the others, and they don't get harvested so the soil should be nutrient rich. Since I've never tasted the fruit from these trees, however, I don't know if the flavor is of the same caliber as my regular source. I picked a few pounds and am waiting for them to ripen. With this weather I expect that to happen by about Wednesday. If they're anywhere near as tasty as they are beautiful, I might go back over and harvest some on the weekend. The factor that may sway me one way or the other is whether anyone else is interested. The price would be the same as for the other wild cots -- $3/lb, 10-lb minimum. Feel free to email directly if you'd like to order or if you have questions. I still have lots of the regular organic apricots available if anyone else is interested ($2/lb).
