Robada

Robada apricot was developed at the USDA-ARS station in Fresno, CA in the late 90s. The most notable attribute is its very large fruit size. It’s one of the largest apricots on the market. Robada is freestone, finishes with a red blush and the flesh is bright orange. The flavor is outstanding with a nice balance between acid and sugar. Tree habit is vigorous, and fruit is somewhat susceptible to mildew if not properly managed.
