The Flavor Delight Aprium®, is a cross of a apricot and a plum tree. The Flavor Delight is 3/4 Apricot and 1/4 Plum with a very sweet taste. The flesh of the fruit is yellow and firm like an apricot but contains the taste of both fruits. This fruit of this self-fertile tree ripens in Late June and with proper pruning can be maintained around 10 feet tall.
