Lido (S)
Apricot, Prunus armeniaca
Lido (S) is a medium-early ripening, self-fertile apricot variety with an attractive colour, sweet flavour and excellent stone solubility.
The self-fertility in combination with the late flowering ensures the yield even under unfavourable flowering conditions.
Both in France and in Switzerland (Valais), Lido (S) is already a very important, established variety in the earlier ripening period.
A minimum order of 25 trees per fruit grower is required !
