Apricot · Plum
📍 VRM8+XQ Horseshoe Bend, ID, USA
🗓 Season: June · July · August · September
🔍 When is it ripe?
Apricot: Golden-orange colour all over; red blush is fine but green means unripe. Gives slightly under thumb pressure and separates cleanly from the pit. Sweet, floral aroma. Short window — harvest daily once they start colouring.
Plum: Colour fully develops (purple, red, or yellow by variety) and a waxy bloom appears on the skin. Softens slightly at the tip. Taste-test for sweetness — European plums are better slightly soft; Japanese types can be harvested firmer.
Many wild plums and an apricot tree off the side of the road right before you get to horseshoe bend. The apricots are full sized, the plums are tiny yellow plums that look like yellow cherries but taste like wild plums. The apricot tree had shot-hole disease but the fruit is still good.
