The fruit skin is greenish-yellow with red spots, turning to a maroon and yellow dapple as it matures . The creamy white and red-fleshed pluot has a wonderful plum-apricot flavor. It ranks with Flavor King and Flavor Supreme PluotŪ as a best-tasting fruit. Additionally, the sugar content of the interspecifics is much higher than in any standard plum or apricot--yielding fruit of incomparable sweetness. It can be pollenized by Flavor Supreme PluotŪ, Santa Rosa or Burgundy Plum. The complex, intense flavor of PluotŪ is unique to interspecifics, much like a blend of fruit juices where the mixture is an improvement over any of the separate ingredients.
