Aprimira Miracot Trees

Prunus 'Aprimira' Miracot Trees  

Aprimira has medium-apricot-sized, juicy yellow fruit that are free stone, with a very sweet mirabelle flavour. This self fertile tree fruits in August with a long picking period. The shelf life is decent for a stone fruit, over a week in the fridge: the smell of the fruit alone is irresistible, so it's unlikely that they will sit around for long!

This Miracot is grown on a Wavit rootstock, which gives medium-to-low vigour, only reaching about 3 metres tall, making it suitable for small gardens.

It's a hardy tree but requires full sun to crop well. It needs good drainage, and is not recommended for chalky soil - it should survive, but is not likely to crop as well as it could.
