Leah Cot Aprium  – The Perfect Apricot-Plum Hybrid

The Aprium is a unique hybrid that combines the best traits of apricots and plums, resulting in intensely sweet, juicy fruit with a rich, complex flavor. With more apricot than plum in its genetics, Apriums have smooth, orange skin and a firm yet juicy texture, making them perfect for fresh eating, drying, or baking. These trees are prolific producers and thrive in warm climates like Orange County.

Key Features:

• Fruit: Small to medium-sized with orange skin and deep, sweet, honey-like flavor.
• Flavor Profile: More intensely sweet than traditional apricots, with a hint of plum complexity.
• Harvest Season: Ripens in late spring to early summer.
• Growth Habit: Deciduous tree reaching 12–18 feet tall; can be pruned for smaller spaces.
• Pollination: Some varieties are self-fruitful, while others benefit from a second apricot or aprium tree for better production.
• Drought Tolerance: Once established, requires minimal water and thrives in well-draining soil.

Aprium trees are an excellent addition to any home orchard, offering delicious fruit with minimal care. Plant in full sun for the best yield and enjoy a harvest of ultra-sweet, flavorful fruit every summer!
