Hi to all,

I am on a real seed planting binge this week.

I found these Apricots today, unmarked as usual. I think they are variety "Chinese" or "Mormon". They are bigger than a gumball, a warm yellow or rusty orange, with a darker rusty red blush.  The stone has a dark brown-green metallic look to it.   The texture is superb, the taste is sweet but not sugary, but its very flavorful, non acidic.  Slightly fuzzy feeling in the mouth, but extremely mild in sensation. Low moisture content, not juicy, but substantial. I feel these would make superb dried fruit.  Getting alot of these to plant and graft for future years. What do you think they are?

Well this is a few years later, but did you have success with these?
