Fruit Trees
The following symbols are used in the Commercial Catalog:
Packing Variety, recommended for new plantings in the Fresno area. Within their harvest season, these varieties have demonstrated superior overall quality with respect to size, color, firmness, flavor, yield, storage and shipping.
Farmers Market Favorite™: varieties that have demonstrated, where adapted, consistent production of especially desirable, high-flavored fruit for local farmers market/fruit stand distributiion.

Aprium® interspecific hybrids are complex Prunus crosses, primarily of apricot and plum. Unlike plumcots, which are simple plum x apricot crosses, Aprium® interspecifics were developed by Zaiger Genetics through intricate hybridizing; several generations of crosses were required to create these new fruits. Aprium® interspecifics, with their scant fuzz, resemble apricots - their apricot parentage is expressed.
Color-Cot™ I.S. Apricots from Zaiger's Inc. Genetics of Modesto, California, are interspecific Prunus hybrids, primarily of apricot (Pr. armeniaca) and plum (Pr. salicina), which resemble apricot and have especially attractive pubescent skin blushed red or orange-red.

The Luther Burbank interspecific, plum x apricot, improved by Zaiger Genetics.
The most famous of the Zaiger Interspecifics, these hybrids are complex Prunus crosses, primarily of plum and apricot. Unlike plumcots, which are simple plum x apricot crosses, Pluot® interspecific plums were developed by the Zaigers through intricate hybridizing; several generations of crosses are typically required to create these new fruits. Pluot® interspecifics have predominantly plum parentage and smooth skins like plums.
