Description
Flavour King is an newly-introduced inter-species plum-apricot hybrid that combines the best qualities of both species into one crop. Fruits are oval-shaped, red-purple in colour with a smooth skin. The flesh is dark blood red with a spicy flavour, juicy and delicious plum-like tasting. They make the perfect dessert fruit for eating freshly-picked from the tree.
