We have paired two of our most reliable and prolific apricot and plum varieties in the Delectable Duo 2 assemblage--at 50% off retail. The Blenheim Apricot and the Santa Rosa Plum are a natural fit for those seeking a couple of productive backyard or front yard fruits that please a wide audience. Blenheim's classically sweet aromatic flavor sets the standard for apricots. It is famous in California for its canning quality and since you'll have plenty, you can enjoy them fresh off the tree and dry the surplus to enjoy later in the year (and send as snacks in school lunches).The Santa Rosa plum, a popular Japanese plum variety, is famous for its sweet, slightly tart flavor, and deep purple-red skin surrounding rich, yellow flesh. Luther Burbank achieved perfection by crossing Asian and European plum cultivars, with his aim to improve both growth characteristics and flavor. Additionally, if you order more trees and meet one of our quantity discount thresholds, you can save an additional 10-20%!

Size of tree
Our trees range in height from 4-8 ft. in our field and trimmed to 4 to 5 ft. when shipped. Our young two year trees are most often feathered (side limbs). The trees diameter (caliper) is often 1/2 to 3/4 inch; *As noted by University of California Scientists and other qualified professionals the most successful trees often have caliper from 1/2" to 5/8" and usually establish faster than smaller and larger planting stock. .
Pruning tip
Basic idea for Pruning: Most fruit trees should be pruned in frost-free periods mid to late winter. (apricots best after bud break) Remove most vertical branches and shorten side branches. Fruiting wood is best on horizontal to 45 degree limbs. Learn more...
Shipping information
Shipping Note: Our fruit trees and berries are delivered to you bareroot during their winter dormancy from January through May depending on USDA zone. Trees are shipped with your invoice and helpful planting directions. There is no minimum quantity required but shipping rate for an individual tree is expensive since UPS/Fed Ex charge a dimensional weight and an additional handling fee to ship a tree. You'll find it's cost effective to consider a handful of trees,vines or our helpful Tree Starter Kits.
