🗓 Season: June · July · March · April · May
🔍 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.
Loquat: Clusters of orange-yellow fruit; ripe when fully orange with no green, yields to gentle pressure, and comes off the stem with a slight tug. Very sweet and aromatic when right — mealy if overripe. Short shelf life after picking.
Roadside along Foothill Expressway. Loquat fruits from May to mid-June, and just as they disappeared off the trees the apricots sweetened up
