Dapple Dandy Pluots
A sweet plum-apricot flavored pluot. Beautifully dappled in red and green this freestone is a dandy. Ogden Nash's poesy goes: "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker". Fruit-fans know that fruit contain fiber and complex sugars for sustained energy versus candy's empty calories.
Angelcot Apricots
25 years ago Fruit Father Ross Sandborn got a special package with white apricot seeds from Morocco. He worked with them on his Brentwood ranch until he bred the saintly Angelcot. These little cherubs are sweet and light, and quite rare. The FruitGuys are delighted to bring you this divine annual treat. Maggiore Farms

Valencia Orange
Citrus waves are rolling in like an endless summer, brah. The primo Valencia is old-school orange. A tangy treat to take down the hall to the dawn patrol. Slice into sections for orange smiles all around - and let the sunshine in!
Fuji Apple
In the 1930s the Fuji apple was bred in Japan. Grafted from Virginian royalty Rawls Jennet and Iowa's Red Delicious, it has become an extremely popular apple in Japan. About the size of a baseball (yakyuu no booru) this apple is sweet and delicious.
Bananas
Did you know that Bananas are really a giant herb? The "trunk" of this perennial plant is formed of woven and twisted outer leaves from which emerges a stalk. It takes 10-15 months for the bananas to develop. Our philosophy on ripening is that we want to bring fruit to you that is at the beginning of the "breaking point" of ripeness. Banana ripening is an art and is divided into 6 color stages. The FruitGuys perfect banana is a stage 5 -- yellow with green tips. At this stage the banana will be sweet and firm. People have different tastes and we try to provide clients with the widest choice of ripening range.
Enjoy and be fruitful!
