We didn’t have it around in Moscow suburb. For summer apples we had Melba(Мельба) and Grushovka Moskovskaya(Грушовка московская) (Moscow Pear-like, Not sure if I translated it right)

Slow fruit day. Some more blueberries, raspberries, banana, and tayberry (I think).

The corresponding English term is Pearmain as in Blue Pearmain or American Summer Pearmain.

Avalon Pride peach. 10 brix. Very juicy. Not real sweet but pretty tasty, especially for being kind of early. I think Redhaven is still 10 to 14 days away from ripening here.

I ate a Bella gold. I thought it tasted like an apricot…more juice…almost mushy…maybe overripe a little. Very sweet…

I ate a Winter Banana apple. Had just a little water core but was good.

Ate my first Pluots that i bought from a CZ Hypermarket. (Pluots are from Spain)
Variety “Flavorosa”
Most of them were slightly under ripe, but a few ones had a very good taste.
A Concord grape like flavor, sweet and tart.
I want to try other Pluot varieties!

Compared to Black Splendor and Black Diamond (Plum), Flavorosa is good.
I will never ever buy those two again from a Supermarket.

Ate our usual berries as well as harvested and sampled one of only two Independence nectarines from a new tree bought a couple months ago and growing in a 3rd pot. A little soft but great nectarine flavor. Much preferred it to the store bought unnamed yellow nectarine we tried for comparison. The tree went straight into the greenhouse so it’s at least a month to 6 weeks ahead of my nectarines growing outside (both in ground and in pots; both single species and fruit combo trees). We all love home grown nectarines so my urban orchard now contains 4 Independence, 1 Hardired, 2 super dwarf, 1 Fantasia, as well as nectarine branches on 5 stone fruit combo trees. Most will provide us with several nectarines each this summer even if all but 3 are less than third leaf.

tasted my first fruit from my sweet scarlet/ red gem goumi. weren’t dead ripe yet but very tasty. barely any astringency at all and just light orange so far. hard to describe the taste except a goumi taste! has that hint of tomato aftertaste from the lycopene content. it melts in your mouth unlike a cherry which is meatier. very easy to pick and eat. letting them go to red then try them again. i think i really like goumi! also ate a handful of my western serviceberries for the 1st time. they’re between a wild blueberry and a sweet cherry. very good eating fresh. only going to get a few handfuls this year but should get a great crop next year. my consort b. currants are loaded and mostly ripe. giving them a few more days too. going to make some jam out of them. sorry for no pics. I’m terrible with technology and not patient enough to take the time to figure it out…

Two of my grands and I picked and enjoyed pears fresh from the tree. The grands are usually my best test determining the earliest ripening time for my fruit. They have no problem busting your ego when pushing the early ripening time for fruit.

Here is my entire 2017 Japanese plum harvest:
One Shiro plum… I had thoought there were zero but I caught this one under the leaves yesterday. Somehow it managed to hide from all the bugs and critters, I didn’t spray the plums. Usually I have many pounds of plums, but only Euro plums this year.

Very sorry, looks like my apricot harvest this year minus 2. It looks tasty though!

Scott,
May I ask why didn’t you spray your plums?
