The maturity calendar runs from mid-May to the beginning of September. Our ARAMIS® range of plum pox virus resistant apricots is currently composed of 8 varieties including some flagship varieties such as BERGEVAL® Aviclo cov and BERGAROUGE® Avirine cov. Newly launched, our red apricots are becoming more and more popular with consumers who highlight their exceptional taste qualities.
