Flavor Delight Aprium® Tree

Fruit lovers go crazy for the Aprium®! A delightfully yummy dual cross between an Apricot and a Plum. Like its cousin, the Pluot®, the sweet Flavor Delight Aprium® Tree (Prunus aprium 'Flavor Delight') gives you the best of two orchard flavors in one fruit!

It isn't all about the excitingly delicious taste of this Apricot/Plum cross, though, you'll also appreciate the beautiful pollinator-friendly pink flowers and foliage it reveals each spring, brightening up your landscape in a splendor-filled show that the whole neighborhood will love!

Growers love the fairly early harvest season of the sweet Flavor Delight Aprium®, with fruits coming on strong early in the season. Growers in all marginal Apricot areas have found success with this cross that grows well in USDA planting zones 6 to 11. Once you get just a taste or two of the ripened end product, you'll see that they're worth the effort!

If you're like many folks and space is an issue, then this semi-dwarf tree is right for you, since they're around three-fourths the size of standard Apricot varieties! Because they are self-fruitful, they need no pollinators, but you can grow this tree alongside other Apricot or Plum fruit trees for increased pollination and yields if desired!

Planting and Application:

The zesty zip of the Apricot is tempered down just a bit by the Plum's sweetness, making for an interesting and addictive flavor combination that the whole family can love. In fact, some connoisseurs even say it is one of the most flavorful of all the early summer fruits! Which is ideal for snacking, adding to fruit platters and salads, baked goods, or even making into jellies and jams.

Whereas the Pluot® leans more toward the Plum end of the flavor spectrum, the Aprium® gives a bigger Apricot punch along with the look and texture of the Apricot.

The trees double as flowering spring ornamentals, lush shade throughout the summers, and a touch of fall color, make Aprium® trees lovely edible landscaping plants! Enjoy both front and backyard gardens and orchards anywhere you have the sun!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Fruit trees need full sun, at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day, to flower and therefore fruit the best. Choose an area with good air circulation in well-drained, enriched soil, with a 3-4 inch deep layer of arborist mulch over the root system. Water new installations regularly and do not let them dry out. Aprium® fruits the best when provided with regular moisture access when it's hot or there’s less rainfall or drought.

Prune these trees to maintain an open canopy for sunlight penetration and good airflow in the late winter or early spring. You can summer prune to maintain size and shape, or to remove suckers and water growth.

These trees are easy to grow and have similar needs as Apricot trees, requiring minimal maintenance, making them a virtually carefree addition to your property! Plant them this season and you'll be enjoying your first harvest in as little as three years!
