About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

The French standard apricot ‚Bergeron’ from the Rhône Valley and one of the most important cultivated varieties in Europe. It ripens late, usually only from early to mid August, giving you a little breathing room after the early varieties. The fruits are large, orange with a red blush, and due to their firm flesh they are well suited for transport and storage for a few days. It is self‑fertile and little susceptible to late frost thanks to its late flowering.

You will enjoy firm, juicy flesh with a strong apricot aroma and a lovely sweet‑acid balance, making it excellent for cakes, preserves, and fresh consumption.
