Description

About The Cot-N-Candy Aprium® Tree

A productive white apricot-plum hybrid!

Cot-N-Candy Aprium® was Introduced by the World-Famous Floyd Zaiger who specialized in the hybrid development of stone fruit. As the name implies, this natural apricot-plum cross produces incredibly sweet and aromatic fruits with freestone pits. Shaped like a plum, with a juicy apricot-like flavor.

The attractive gold and pink blushed apriums have white flesh that melts in your mouth! A favorite at farmer markets, Cot-N-Candy apriums are often enjoyed fresh and are also great for baking and canning.

How to Grow Cot-N-Candy Apriums

This compact stone fruit tree is a consistent bearer of fruits that ripen in early-to-mid July. It has a vigorous and semi-spreading growth habit.

This self-fertile tree has a winter chill hour requirement of approximately 400 hours at or below 45 degrees. Plant with another aprium or apricot for an even larger crop!

May be covered by USPP #17,827 or other patents.
