Sweetheart Apricot
Sweetheart Apricot has a good crop of fruit this year. After I eat the fruit, I will have nuts to eat.
Gooseberry Cultivars
I am starting to grow more Gooseberry cultivars as they are great tasting berries. The flavor has been better than the wild Gooseberries that grow here.

Ussuri Plum fruit is starting to ripen. The fruit is larger than the wild American Plums and taste better, too.
