It&#8217;s a mid-season and really productive variety. Barely needs any suckering at all. The fruit are total stunners: yellow-orange with a pink blush, up to 3.5 oz (100 g), looking just like real apricots. They have a light peach fuzz on the skin, don&#8217;t split, and have a fantastic sweet, dessert-like flavor. Sets 5-7 fruits per truss. Very tough, disease-resistant plant too &#8211; mine even shrugged off a brief cold snap and some snow.<\/p>\n<p><em>Edited November 4, 2016 by Drosera<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">K<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Kalitka (Julia) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (770 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Really liked this variety.
