Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Despite its suggestive name, Aprimira has no apricot ancestry. It arose from Mirabelle von Herrenhausen and an unidentified cultivated plum. Its orange-yellow fruit develops a red cheek in the sun and has firm, exceptionally sweet, aromatic flesh reminiscent of apricot. Self-fertile, healthy and productive, it offers a long picking window and a stone that separates readily from the flesh.

Description

Aprimira is a mirabelle or hybrid mirahelle / plum. The fruits are sweet, and relatively large by the standards of mirabelles – more like small plums in size.

The stone falls away cleanly from the flesh, which makes it easier to use the fruits for cooking with.

The dusky red and orange fruits ripen gradually throughout August, at about the same time as Victoria plums, and can be picked from the tree over an extended period. They will also keep fresh in a fridge for about a week – longer than most dessert plums.
