Tips For Buying Apricots Most fresh apricots are marketed in June and July, but a limited supply of imported apricots is available in large cities during December and January. Domestic apricots are grown principally in California, Washington, and Utah. Apricots develop their flavor and sweetness on the tree, and should be mature but firm at the time they are picked. Look for: Apricots that are plump and juicy looking, with a uniform, golden-orange color. Ripe apricots will yield to gentle pressure on the skin. Avoid: Dull-looking, soft, or mushy fruit, and very firm, pale yellow, or greenish- yellow fruit. These indicate overmaturity or immaturity, respectively.
