A Pluot is a plum-apricot cross that leans 75 percent towards the plum. The different varieties vary in fruit skin color, from yellow to red, making this a beautiful combination tree. The fruit is of excellent quality, incredibly sweet, plum-like, with an apricot aftertaste. Ripens in July. The four varieties are the new Dapple Dandy, Flavor Queen, Flavor King, and Flavor Supreme. The tree is self-fertile and will pollinize early ripening Japanese plums. These super sweet, patented Floyd Zaiger introductions are recommended for USDA Zones 6-9. They need only 600 hours chilling and thrive in areas where hot summers bring out their incredible sweetness and complex flavor. (Not Western Washington) On Citation rootstock.
This large freestone fruit is also called 'Dinosaur Egg'. When the incredibly sweet and delicious red and white flesh is ripe, the yellow/green skin turns a dappled maroon and yellow. A frequent taste test winner for its distinct Plum-Apricot flavor.
Dandy is a good pollinizer for Pluot varieties and among the most widely adaptable to colder climates. Thin the fruit so it doesn't overset and become biennial. Chill hours 500.
