I'm wondering about KARMA Apricot and thin skin. I have 2 KARMA Apricot plants and they both are producing very thick skinned fruits. They are tasty but not at all like the other KARMA varieties as to texture and structure. I'll get some pics later.

I think they are worth growing but don’t let them hang ripe because they will definitely split if get suddenly wet.

nope. not a drop of rain here for weeks nor have I watered them. I do have a KARMA apricot next to it and none of them split until this morning when we had a smidgen of rain overnight. They are tasty and beautiful by the way.

I picked my KARMA Miracle and Apricot and Tundra last Monday, before very heavy rains.

We had the coldest May from 30 years, and our summer was cold and rainy. But they grow healthy, any problems with flowering and setting fruits. They look and taste outstanding.

Here's what my KARMA Apricot looks like (left) and KARMA Miracle (right). I had significant splitting on Miracle until I harvested sooner.

My Miracles are splitting far less than some other cherries. We have had cool weather, Brutal heat and humidity, followed by deluges of rain. Since June. Humidity here will crack them as fast as rain will. I pick at the blush stage to prevent it.

The BLT made with the Tundra tomato was superb. Excellent tomato.
