Description
Prunus 'Aprimira' Miracot Hybrid Trees for Sale
'Aprimira' is an Apricot Mirabelle hybrid, or Miracot, with medium-apricot-sized, juicy yellow fruit, conveniently free stone, with a mirabelle plum flavour but sweeter.
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 shouldn't sit around for long!

- Cross between Apricot & Mirabelle
- Suitable for small gardens
- Very sweet, juicy fruit
- Free stone
- Self fertile
- Semi-dwarfing Wavit rootstock (low vigour, but lots of fruit)
- Pollination Group A & B - Great for pollinating all early flowering trees in the plum family
- RHS Plants for Pollinators
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 like its Apricot parent requires full sun to crop well. A sheltered site near a South facing wall is perfect.
It needs good drainage, and is not recommended for chalky soil.
