Pluot

 

 

"Pluot, possibly Flavor King"

A pluot is a fruit developed in the late 20th century by Floyd Zaiger. It is a complex cross hybrid of plum and apricot, being 2/3 plum and 1/3 apricot in parentage. Its exterior resembles a plum fairly closely.

Pluots are noted for their sweetness (due to a very high sugar content) and their intense flavor. Pluots are also rich in vitamin A.

Pluot varieties include:

  • Blue Gusto: large, medium sweet, yellow flesh.
  • Candy Stripe: medium, pink-yellow striped, with very sweet and juicy flesh.
  • Cherry: small, bright red skin with white flesh.
  • Dapple Dandy: large sweet with pale green to yellow, red-spotted skin, red or pink juicy flesh.
