Encyclopedia > Aprium

An aprium is a fruit invented in the late 20th century by Floyd Zaiger. It is a complex cross hybrid of plum and apricot, being 2/3 apricot and 1/3 plum in parentage. Its exterior resembles an apricot to some extent, but is mostly smooth like a plum.


Apriums are noted for their sweetness (due to a very high sugar content) and their intense flavor.


Aprium is a registered trademark of Zaiger's Genetics.
