Evaluation
This intense red-skinned apricot is a dash of colour in displays next to the classic orange coloured fruits. The attractive appearance together with the blood-orange coloured flesh is an outstanding feature.
Please note the rapid ripening and short harvest period which are typical for Rouge-Apricots.
