A rarest kind of "Apricot" Dwarf
Closed to the airport, we found a rarest kind of dwarf with yellow-orange elongated fruits. The expert believes, without certitude, that this dwarf is genetically related to the Kiribati Green Dwarf. Sometimes it grows in the same way than this Green Dwarf, remaining of very little size, sometimes it is larger when agronomic conditions are better.
The expert believes that the two pictures here under show the same variety of Apricot Dwarf, but planted and managed n different conditions, and resembling in shape the Kiribati Green Dwarf..
