Perla 1

Reliable harvest for your orchard: Perla 1 apricot

Breeding by Ivan Savych Yarmoliuk is traditionally focused on the needs of gardeners operating in the diverse climate of Ukraine. The "Perla 1" apricot is a solution for those tired of battling late spring frosts and annual moniliosis outbreaks. The main advantage of this variety lies in its exceptional resilience: frost resistance down to -30°C makes it viable even in regions previously considered unsuitable for commercial or private cultivation.

A perfect balance of taste and durability

"Perla 1" fruits stand out among competitors due to their harmonious blend of sugar content (12–14%) and a distinct, rich aroma. With a fruit weight of 40–60g, they are ideal for both the fresh market and preserves. The ease with which the pit separates from the flesh is a critical factor for processing, saving significant time during domestic canning.

Agronomic features and recommendations

• Disease resistance: High resistance to clasterosporiosis and moniliosis reduces the need for intensive chemical orchard treatments.
• Yield: The tree consistently produces 30–50 kg of high-quality fruit.
• Self-fertility: The variety is partially self-fertile, though planting pollinators nearby is recommended to maximize yield.
• Transportability: The firm, yellow skin with a characteristic reddish blush ensures high shelf life and excellent transportability, allowing the harvest to reach markets in pristine condition.

This variety is an optimal choice for private orchard owners and farmers who value reliability. With a medium ripening period (111–120 days), "Perla 1" harmoniously rounds out the harvesting calendar, ensuring a steady supply of produce during the summer peak.
