About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A time honoured Hungarian apricot that has been valued for generations in the warmer regions of the German speaking countries. At the end of July it ripens medium sized, orange yellow fruits with a red cheek that part well from the stone. It is self fertile, so you do not need a second tree, and it crops reliably. The tree grows vigorously, which makes an airy, sunny position worthwhile to prevent brown rot.
Juicy, soft flesh with full sweetness and a fine acidity, just as good fresh from the tree as preserved or distilled.
