Here is my description
" What is this fruit? I found a small tree full of these overhanging the
sidewalk in the Greenlake neighborhood of Seattle. They tasted like
apricots and were slightly sweet. The skin was smooth and a little
bitter and a little tangy, no fuzz. The creamy texture of the flesh was
similar to fresh apricots, and the pit was not joined at all to flesh.
These were really ripe. Half were on the ground, half still on the tree.
I am saving the seeds of the handful I grabbed off the ground to grow
seedlings. I might go back for scionwood. I should have grabbed some
leaves for an ID. It might have been planted on purpose in the past, but
it looks like no one is going for the fruit now and it hasn't ever been
pruned."
