apricot
杏 centers on the apricot fruit, and by extension the apricot tree.
杏 combines 木 (tree) and 口 (mouth), likely representing the fruit of a tree that is eaten. The exact historical development is uncertain, but the tree-fruit association is broadly accepted.
A tree 木 with a round fruit 口 hanging from it: that fruit is an apricot.
For キョウ, imagine a giant apricot so big it casts a shadow over Kyoto (キョウ). The apricot tree stands tall, and its fruit is as famous as the city.
