Dovyalis abyssinica x hebecarpa - Tropical Apricot

Produces an orange velvet-skinned fruit about 1 inch diameter with a flavour resembling Apricot. This Hybrid is said to produce the best tasting fruit of all Dovyalis species and is more hardy than other types. Should manage well in our hot dry conditions also.

Apriots are beautiful when  allowed to ripen from the tree, but every now and then I also like chomping them at the semi ripe stage when they are still crisp.

Bought from the market in a pot 3 years ago.  Two years ago I transfered to ground.  It gets sun all day and is thriving.  Last year got one apricot, this year nothing but the tree looks great.

Comments: -

Growing well, but late spring frosts have so far toasted every fruit. Am going to put a barrel of water under it this week...

Good news this year fruiting. Left the grass very long this year (over winter and spring) - which appears to have minimized the frost damage i normally get.

First harvest this year! Only about 4kg, but a start...

Has anyone seen a variety called Morocco? Jackie French talks about it and it would be much more suited to my climate than Moorepark!

Apricot - Moorpark ^8/10

Comments: -

This variety dates from the late 1600s or earlier.  Said to be Jane Austen's favourite, but were there many competitors back then?!!?

Fruiting Months January and February

Planted: 2007

Height 2 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Qty: 1

First Fruited: 2 Years from purchase in pot

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Pruned By: 10% in Summer and Spring

Pollination: Self Pollination

When I Fertilise: Spring

Pest Control:

No pests affecting it (touchwood), other than drought, high winds and fierce summer heat over 2008/2009 which ruined a lot of the fruit, damn it!

Organic Status:Organic

Question:

Purchased bare-rooted (this option not available, as per above "First Fruited" list)

Extremely productive.  Fruit needs to be thinned to improve quality of remainder.  Fruit tough on the outside but spongy and very sweet and moist on the inside - extremes of heat and bloody water restrictions probably to blame for its first crop being that way.

Better luck in 2009/2010, I hope.
