    Are these apricots? I nibbled a bit and it was delicious, not too sweet, somewhere between apricot and grape in flavour. May try making jam if i can figure out they're properly edible...


    • im in ireland but by the shore and our gardens a suntrap... been in the house 2 years but didn't notice any fruit last summer on this guy.kingsteven
    • there are other, related fruits, such as the Loquat or Kumquat, that are very similar in taste and appearancemonospaced
