Alyans

The Alliance apricot variety features a tree of above-average size with a round, spreading crown of medium density and raised skeletal branches. The tree begins fruiting in the 4th to 5th year after planting, allowing for a fairly quick harvest. The fruits of this variety are distinguished by their large size — weight reaching up to 52 grams. They have a wide-oval or ovoid shape with a persistent style remnant at the apex. The fruit coloration is light yellow with a bright crimson blush covering up to half the surface. The apricots ripen in the first half of July, making them one of the early varieties.

The flesh of the fruits is dense, of medium juiciness, with a pleasant slightly sour-sweet taste, which is rated at 4.6 points. The flesh consistency is fused-fibrous, ensuring a good texture when consumed. The apricots are of universal purpose — they can be used both for fresh consumption and for processing. The variety is characterized by high yield, reaching 12.5 tons per hectare, making it attractive for cultivation in both home gardens and on an industrial scale.

In addition to taste qualities, Alliance apricots possess useful properties. They are rich in vitamins and minerals, in particular boron, which contributes to the activation of vitamin D. This improves calcium and magnesium absorption, which positively affects bone health. The variety is also characterized by medium disease resistance and increased winter hardiness, ensuring stable fruiting in various climatic conditions.
