I wanted to include an apricot tree in my back yard fruit orchard. This Flavor Delight Aprium tree will fit into my love of plums and apricot fruit and grows in my hardiness zone.
Needed an Apricot tree and this is the only one available. Also our plum tree seems happy, hoping since it is part plum this one will live longer.
I have two apricot trees and I wanted one more so I would have three different varieties planted three feet apart to one another to get maximum pollination and yield.
I love Apricots & this combo of flavor is what I desire.
