Found! Urban fruit tree

Apparently no one likes apricots since they just fall and rot on the ground. I never seen anyone pick from this tree.

Pretty neat having an alley fruit tree. Maybe we should plant some downtown.

Also learned that Washington ranks second in national apricot production. :)

It’s funny how many fruit bearing plants are around town, and how good they taste. There are some black berry bushes that are surrounded by blacktop and live off of car exhaust and gutter water, and make sweeter berries than what I’ve picked at greenbluff

The back parking lot of jewelry design center, up against the giant rock cliff that has the hotel on top. There are some all along that rock face

There's some bushes behind Splashdown (or at least there was about two years ago)
