About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You will find ‚Compacta’, a weak‑growing, compact, evergreen apricot, ideal for small gardens, pots or the terrace where a sprawling apricot would have no space. Despite its delicate crown it bears normal‑sized, golden‑orange fruit with good sweetness. It is self‑fertile and requires little pruning because it naturally grows dense and compact.
You will enjoy juicy‑sweet flesh with a delicate apricot aroma, a full‑bodied apricot in miniature, perfect for snacking straight from the tree.
