About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A modern, early ripening apricot (trade name Orangered®) that delivers its first fruits as early as the beginning of July. The intensely orange red, large apricots look striking and taste pleasantly sweet. It is self fertile and grows vigorously, which makes regular pruning worthwhile. As a protected new breed it is usually offered as a grafted tree from the nursery.
Juicy, sweet flesh with mild acidity and a fine aroma, an appealing dessert fruit for early summer.
