Flavor Delight Aprium Tree
Flavor Delight Aprium trees produce an irresistible hybrid fruit that combines the best traits of apricots and plums. The medium-sized fruit has golden skin with a slight blush and tender, juicy flesh that delivers a sweet, tangy flavor. Ideal for fresh eating, drying, or making preserves, this self-fruitful tree thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, requiring moderate chill hours. Flavor Delight blooms early in spring with showy white blossoms, adding ornamental beauty to its productivity. With its unique flavor and versatility, Flavor Delight Aprium is a must-have for adventurous gardeners seeking hybrid fruit varieties.
