Hi CapriUni...Here in central CA peaches are ripening fast. I've got two domesticated trees, one of which I've already stipped, the other still faintly green. Often the birds will let you know as they come in just before stuff is ready to pick, and do their own picking...or pecking.

There are a couple of very old and large apricot trees on the place, here when we bought it. One is clearly from volunteer stock, the other domesticated. The volunteer has smaller fruit, and way more "twins" (where 2 fruits grow from the same stem) but they are great for jam and freezing, and the tree does bear up better in dry hot years.

I was thrilled to find an almond volunteer down by the pasture fence a couple of years ago. It's yet to set fruit but the blooms in spring are already a delight...and plenty for me if that's all I get. Be sure to watch for peach blossoms next spring...they are so pretty.
