We bought a new tree a couple of weeks ago - it's called Fruit Cocktail. It's a grafted "breed" and supposedly bears apricots, nectarines, plums and peaches.

Wow! That should prove interesting! I wonder if they will all become ripe about the same time? We had an apricot tree and a peach tree a long time ago, and the apricot bloomed earlier than the peach tree (in fact, so much of the time, the freeze would get it so there would be no fruit)

However, I just will not buy peaches in the supermarket because they taste like cardboard; on the other hand, the nectarines are sweet and juicy!
