Sweet and Unusual Hybrid Treats - Aprium Trees at Nature Hills!
Aprium® trees produce fruit that is extremely sweet and has a strong Apricot overtone with a hint of Plum. The fruit of the Aprium® is different than Pluots® because they are 75% Apricot and 25% Plum.
Giving them the sweetness without the Plum tartness, and maintaining an Apricot texture.
In appearance, an Aprium® resembles an Apricot in many ways, except without the fuzzy coat.
The Aprium is a deciduous tree with fragrant spring flowers the pollinators adore, lush green leaves for shade, and a generous crop of stone fruit in the summer. These fuzzy-free semi-cling or clingstone fruits are very sweet and Aprium® can greatly enhance pies, salads, and preserves!
If the Aprium® Apricot/Plum fruits are harvested when they are slightly underripe, they can be kept in a paper bag until they mature and then they can be kept in the refrigerator or frozen until used. Typically early-season crops, Aprium® arrive just in time for all your summer get-togethers and backyard barbecues!
Caring For Aprium Trees
Aprium® trees do best when planted in full sun settings, in enriched well-drained soil in areas out of strong winds. Fruit trees need regular moisture throughout the growing season. A 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch over the roots helps insulate and hold in moisture consistently.

Self-pollinating/self-fertile but larger crops of fruit will be achieved by pollinating with any other Apricot tree. Apriums® are low chill (the temperatures below 45 degrees necessary to fully break the dormancy of deciduous fruit trees) so they're great for hot climates.
