  1. Some of the fruit trees yesterday. Apples, apricots, and a plum. Next post is a peach, the other plum, and the pears.

  6. #CentralAsia’s #fruit and #nut #forests: the real Garden of Eden?

    Birthplaces of some of the world’s most beloved snacks

    "Millions of years ago, in the temperate montane forests of a little-known region in Central Asia, some of the world’s best-loved fruit and nut trees began to grow. #Apples, #apricots, #cherries, #plums, #grapes, #figs, #peaches, #pomegranates, #pears, #almonds, #pistachios and #walnuts all originated in the hills and valleys of the #TianShan mountain range, which stretches from #Uzbekistan in the west to #China and #Mongolia in the east.

    "The area is volcanic and geologically tumultuous, but fertile – scientists have hypothesized that in a place prone to frequent eruptions, earthquakes and landslides, shorter-lived tree species that could disperse their seeds widely by making themselves palatable to large mammals had a better shot at survival than long-lived, slow-maturing trees.

    "And that tasty survival strategy has served these species well. For residents of the region, the foods represent both security and social currency. 'From the taxi drivers to the ministers to the local people, almost everyone carries some #DriedFruit or #Nuts with them,' says Paola Agostini, a lead natural resources specialist for Europe and Central Asia at the World Bank. 'It’s like this safety net, and it’s also a lovely gift: something to share with others that is always appreciated.'

    "Central Asian marketplaces offer a cornucopia of colors, flavors, textures and varieties – many more than those most of us are accustomed to finding in our local supermarket’s produce aisle. 'I was always astonished that people in the region could so easily tell which country a particular dried apricot came from,' says Agostini. 'Their knowledge of these products is just so deep.'

    "Procuring and sharing these energy-dense treats is an ancient practice in the area. Fruit and nuts were major commodities on the Silk Road, an ancient network of trade routes that tracked through the heart of Central Asia, linking Europe, the Middle East and Asia, from the first century BC through to the mid-1400s. Over centuries of trade and travel – and lots of munching by humans, camels and horses along the way – prized fruit and nut species spread their seeds wider and wider, and new hybrid varieties were created, many of which are now supermarket and home-orchard staples, cultivated enthusiastically in temperate regions across the globe.

    "Narratives of plant domestication often tend to overstate the role of humans, but newer science suggests that 'evolution in parallel' with the plants we love is often a more accurate way of framing this process. 'It’s very unlikely that when somebody took an apple from #Kazakhstan and carried it across an entire continent, they were thinking that they could cross it with another variety and end up with something better,' says #RobertSpengler, a paleo-ethnobotanist at the Max Planck Institute in Jena, Germany. 'They were more likely just carrying the seeds to plant somewhere else. And in doing so, they inadvertently set off a chain reaction of hybridization events.'

    "According to Spengler’s research into the origins of apples, humans were not the first mammals to participate in that process of dispersal and co-evolution, either. In the late #Miocene, which spanned the period from 11.63 to 5.33 million years ago, large mammals such as #mammoths and #horses played critical roles in dispersing apple seeds and facilitating their evolutionary process into the large, sweet, flavor-rich fruits we enjoy today."

  13. I bought some red-flushed apricots grown in England. A revelation! It used to be vaguely possible to grow one variety - Moor Park.

    These were Congat. Very juicy and with a streak of acidity to balance the sweetness. Random sizes. No prissiness.

  19. I know there’s lots of #apple news today, but #apricots is where it’s at

  20. Visited the #WestOakland #FarmersMarket & the #PrescottMarket food court today near #RaimondiPark where the semi-pro baseball team, the #Ballers play near 18th & Peralta.

    The Framers Market, which is held on Sundays, is pretty small but I bought 2# of fresh #apricots (my favorite fruit next to LARGE #MandarinOranges).

    The food court at the Prescott Market adjoining 18th St where the Farmer's Market is held is small too but I was able to find a vendor selling a decent IPA & another that offered a reasonably priced BLT & I was happy.

    Walked over to check out the Ballers' park, which is a far cry from what was there before, but I was more interested in getting back home to see the end of the #SFGiants vs #Nationals game than watch a semi-pro ball game there.

    Anyway, if you haven't checked out this part of Oakland recently, this is an interesting Sunday morning destination.

  23. The Comice pear, the oldest Gravenstein apple, an early blooming peach grown from seed, and the Harcot Apricot. I saw quite a few apricots blooming when I was out and about today. The Japanese type plum here is a couple of warm days away from starting to bloom and it doesn't look like it's died much more. It's more than 50 years old.

  29. New addition to our little vegetables and fruits corner. In the past weeks we have planted a small apricot tree. Before planting it we put content from our bokashi in the soil to fertilize it, plus some organic fertilizer, good watering and now crossing fingers that this little tree feels happy there. I doubt we will be able to taste some apricots this year but let’s wish 😊

  30. Good morning people of the Mastodons!

    Now look at that, some apricots survived the frost nights we had some weeks ago!

    I hope that we'll have some nice 🍑 to harvest later this year.
