✅ Up for sale is a 1-year-old Flavor Delight Aprium tree, grafted and approximately 10-12 inches tall. This unique hybrid is 3/4 apricot and 1/4 plum, offering a delicious combination of both flavors. The fruit is firm with yellow flesh, measuring around two inches, and ripens in mid-July on a vigorous, upright tree that can be maintained at a height of about ten feet.
✅ This tree is recommended for USDA Zones 6-9 and has been proven to perform well at the Mt. Vernon Station, requiring less than 300 chill hours. It grows to a mature height of around 12 feet and thrives in full sun. Flavor Delight is self-fertile, meaning it doesn’t require a second plant for pollination, though it will yield a larger crop when pollinated by any apricot variety.
✅ During dormancy, the plant will be sent bare root with roots wrapped in wet media to preserve moisture. In the summer, it will be sent in a container with soil to ensure safe transport. I will send at the beginning of the week, either Monday or Tuesday, to avoid weekend delays. The plant will be sent via First Class mail, securely packaged to prevent movement within the box, and a planting/grafting guide will be included.
✅ Please check your local regulations regarding plant entry, as some plants cannot be sent to TX, FL, AZ, or CA due to U.S.D.A. regulations. I am not responsible for confiscated or heat-damaged items during shipping.
✅ Your order will arrive in good condition. If any issues occur with the item while it is on the way to you, contact us the same day with a description and pictures of the issue so we can assist you.
