When I lived in Newport Beach back in the day I rented a house that had an apricot tree.
The apricots tasted like candy—incredible.
Do what you need to do—but get some!
I worked in Rancho Bernardo (north of San Diego) for about a year and our office building had orange trees in the courtyard. When they were ripe I’d go out at 3PM every day and get a couple. They were awesome right off the tree.
