{"product_id":"apricot-aprium-cot-n-candy-semi-dwarf","title":"Cot-N-Candy Aprium Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eCot-N-Candy Aprium produces smooth, apricot-like fruit that can develop a warm red blush over golden skin. Dense, juicy flesh carries concentrated sweetness followed by a mild plum-like finish, creating a layered flavor that is most noticeable when the fruit is fully ripe. Enjoy the early-summer crop fresh, or use it where its aromatic character can lead in pastries, preserves, and dried fruit. White blossoms make the tree attractive in spring before the unusual hybrid harvest begins to form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive this bare-root, semi-dwarf tree full sun, excellent drainage, and enough room for air to circulate through the canopy. Apriums respond well to the same open-center training commonly used for apricots. Keep moisture steady while roots establish and fruit enlarges, without allowing standing water around the crown. Thin dense clusters after natural fruit drop so the remaining crop has room to develop and branches are not strained by excess weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCot-N-Candy is self-fruitful and can produce without a mandatory pollinizer. A second compatible aprium or apricot is optional for gardeners who want another flavor or harvest window.
