An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.

Flavor Queen® is fairly firm, but so juicy the tender, greenish-yellow skin can barely contain it! Although it has more plum than apricot in it's parentage, it offers more exquisite apricot flavour in it's golden flesh than any of the other pluot siblings. Large, candy-sweet fruit ripens over several weeks, making this Zaiger Hybrids selection an ideal homeowner tree. Pairs well with Dapple Dandy® or another Japanese plum.
