Leah Cot Aprium
An apricot, plum hybrid that is more towards the apricot side of the spectrum. Leah Cot Aprium produces very large fruits that are deep orange inside and out and taste like an apricot with just a hint of plum flavor and larger size. Ripens early July in Oregon and a good choice for cooler climates where late frost can be an issue.
