Aprium - Cot-N-Candy, Aprium Prunus armeniaca x domestica ssp.aprium 'Cot-N-Candy', is an apricot-plum hybrid that resembles an apricot. It looks like an apricot, but has a distinctive flavor and texture all its own. Cot-N-Candy's flesh is extra sweet and juicy with a plumy aftertaste. It is a multi-stemmed, shrubby, small tree with a spreading crown. Cot-N-Candy is partially self fertile but you will get bigger crops if pollinated by an apricot. One of the earliest ripening fruits, in mid June in California, it also blooms very early and is difficult to grow in late frost areas. Thin fruit early to maximize size and quality. Con-N-Candy needs well-drained, moderately fertile soil. It is best to thin fruit early in season to maximize size and quality.

  Love my new aprium tree, 6/27/2009 6:28:15 PM
Reviewer: twicevirgo
I bought an Aprium tree in honor of my grandson's birth and planted it in early January. Not being much of a gardener, I had my doubts whether this 'stick' would actually turn into a tree. But it began to grow and fill out and soon there were actually 4 small apriums growing! By late May, while small, they were ripe and the most delicious fruit I've ever had. I love apricots but the aprium is much tastier. The skin of the fruit turned orange/red as it ripened and they were juicy and sweet with the meat separating from the pit easily. The tree is very easy to take care of. It takes water. Beware that slugs like the fruit a lot so I put a bowl of (believe it or not) beer at the base of the tree. The slugs are attracted to the beer and then they die, leaving the fruit alone. Highly recommended.
