The late spring / early summer sunlight and heat I think helps quite a lot for ripening. If you're in California, the <a href="http://mastergardeners.org/" rel="nofollow">UC Master Gardeners</a> websites (organized by county) might have some useful tips and information.

I have a 12 year old tree that the apricots never turn yellow. I am looking at them and they are about the size of large walnuts and green, green, green. In your opinion or experience, what can I do to get these (should be) wonderful apricots to turn yellow? If you know, please share. Thanks You allude to the fact that apricots stay small and green.
