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.

Growing and Training

Aprimira is self-fertile and a useful pollinator for other very early flowering plum species, including pluots, cherry plums and other mirabelles - it flowers over a long period.

It may sometimes set too many fruitlets and it may be necessary to thin the crop in late spring to ensure good quality fruit.

More about hybrid plum trees

Hybrid or inter-specific plums make an interesting addition to the home orchard. The European plum (Prunus domestica) and Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) are perhaps the best known of the fruiting plum species, but there are many others, and numerous natural hybrids between these species. Man-made plum hybrids have been popular since the 1960s and typically aim to marry the productivity and flavours of European and Japanese plums with the rustic qualities of other species. The Siberian plum (Prunus ussriensis) for example can bring excellent cold-hardiness to a hybrid variety.
