An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be on the shorter side, may be crooked or with slight damage. These trees will still produce the very same fruit as a first or number 1 will. They may need to be staked and they do need regular watering, fertilizer and protection from weeds and hungry animals. All trees will benefit from pruning.
Flavor Queen® is fairly firm, but so juicy the tender, greenish-yellow skin can barely contain it! Although it has more plum than apricot in it's parentage, it offers more exquisite apricot flavour in it's golden flesh than any of the other pluot siblings. Large, candy-sweet fruit ripens over several weeks, making this Zaiger Hybrids selection an ideal homeowner tree. Pairs well with Dapple Dandy® or another Japanese plum.
