No it isn't. My big one in front of my house used to show quite large fruit by this time of year but they didn't actually ripen until the end of the month. People used to park outside the house,leap out with a carrier bag, fill it with apricots and drive off. That was not too bad but when a carload would each have a carrier bag and take the fruit from the lower branches I was not happy. Next year I picked them all and gave most to friends who made jam etc. Sadly the tree died a few years ago as the water channel which ran beside it was concreted for some reason so it didn't get the water it needed to produce such incredible fruit.
