Vesuviano is an Italian plum-apricot hybrid, traditionally known as a biricoccolo. Its fruit resembles a plum externally, while the yellow flesh develops a pronounced apricot aroma and a gently balanced sweet flavour. It is equally suitable for fresh eating and cooking. Flowering slightly later than many apricots can help reduce, though not eliminate, the risk from spring frosts.
