A sister variety to Flavourcot®, but with a slightly different sugar/acid balance giving the aromatic fruits a more delicate flavour. Delicious eaten straight from the tree, in preserves or served up as a cold or cooked desert. Self fertile.
Grafted onto a specialist apricot rootstock called 'Torrinel' which is semi-dwarfing, and will produce you a medium sized 2-2.5m (7-8ft), manageable tree for the small garden and is proven to give a bigger crop of apricots. Due to modern breeding techniques and yield improvements it is now easy for the home gardener to grow and enjoy these exotic fruits.
