Kapohocat...I also miss having an apricot tree. You just can't buy cots as good as right off the tree...or any fruit for that matter....But I've found that the California cots are the only ones that taste the closest to what I remember as a child. The ones grown in Washington or Canada or Oregon just don't seem to have the same flavor. I was just at Costco the other day, & they have cots. I bought some from there a couple of months ago just to make some jam, & they tasted pretty good when they got very ripe. The ones they have right now would be too late to be Calif. cots, but they were a product of USA, so they might be from the more northern states.
