The links I find in a search for Early Bird show a dark berry. Is yours a common cultivar?

@murky That’s true. I got this one from OGW, so very much seems like it was mislabeled. Still tasty though.
More updates.
First apricot of the year. Flavor Giant. 35g and around 17 brix. I noticed it on the tree, tapped it lightly, and it dropped. It seems a bit early, but the flavor was excellent.

Leah Cot. Only a handful this year. 2nd year tree. Very tasty. Between 55 and 65 grams. 18 to 20 brix.
Flavor Delight. Still questioning ripeness for these. We did get a decent rain recently, so maybe these will sweaten up with the warmer weather. I guess that’s the benefit to having a decent amount to pick. Brix so far has been between 14 and 16.

Tilton. Coloring and sizing up. Could have thinned more.
Sampled a couple of the darker ones today. Brix around 14. Maybe another week or so.
7/4
& Today, 7/12
Last of the Flavor Delights. Overall, these were much sweeter than the last batch. 18+ brix on average. No issues growing this year.
Last Leah cot. Only 4 this year. Much better flavor compared to my flavor delights.
About 10 or so Candy Hearts this year. First year for fruit. Coloring up.
Various other plums starting to color up as well. The worry now is what will still be here when we get back from two weeks on the east coast.

Squirrel strike on a very immature Lucy Glo. Cut to see color development.
Very tasty Santa Rosas this year.

Apricots from the last few weeks. The difference between a 50g Tilton and 140g Brittany Gold. The Brittany Gold was thinned very heavily this year. Most were all over 95grams. The biggest ranged from 110 to the 140. The largest I have seen so far. Very tasty too. Many many Tilton this year (did not thin). Turned into a great cake.
Spice Z starting to ripen as well this week (8/2). One of my favorites.

Yellow. Farther along than the red. Typically ripen before the freeze, if we even get one this fall.

Tasting another Candy Heart…eating one every week or so test ripeness. Starting 7/26, brix around 17. 8/2 at 18 brix. Skipped a week. 8/16 now at 22 brix. A little sugar bomb today, but tasty. I’ve never had these before so I’m not sure exactly what the taste is supposed to be. Have about 5 left on the tree.

Another Candy Heart. Brix still hovering around 20.
Compared to 100g Mariposa. Mariposa around 16 brix. Both very very tasty.

Another week, another Candy Heart. Still somewhat firm to me but brix is reading at 25 now. They do hang well. Going to leave the remaining ones until September or until they seem too soft and taste again. Very very tasty.

Another Candy Heart test. This one a little less firm than previous ones. Maybe the best tasting this far. Brix around 26/27.

May have finally successfully hand pollinated my cherimoya. Others have dried out and fallen off. This one is hanging on and does seem to be getting larger…just in time for winter.

Flavor Finale. 3yo tree. First year for fruit. They appear more purple to me in person. Only sampled the ones that have dropped on their own. Very very tasty. Unqiue flavor. Might be my favorite so far this year. Brix around 18 for these.

Nice! 
I learned restraint this year (mostly because I was focused on replacing my mangoes and got a bunch of figs), so I only added a variegated Cara Cara, a Sumo, and just picked up a Key lime last weekend. 
I think that puts me at about 27 citrus now?

I know the feeling. I think I am at capacity for now. I still have the trifoliate and taiwanica seedlings to graft in the next year or so. Hopefully, will be able to find space for those somewhere.
Here’s the Sumos, April compared to this morning.

BEAUTIFUL! Mine is just a twig, the one I ordered from One Green World, but looking forward to it putting on some decent growth next season! I am in love with my variegated citrus. The fruits on my variegated plants: Pink Lemon, Tiger Navel, Calamondin, and Cara Cara are all striped, I love it! I’ll have to post some pics at some point, lol.
