Flavor KingThe Flavor King Pluot (interspecific), ‘Prunus pluot’, is a taste test winner. It is a unique plum-apricot hybrid. The remarkable, spicy bouquet and flavor explode the taste buds. The fruit has a reddish-purple skin and sweet red flesh. The Flavor King is a naturally small tree. I can be pollenized by Flavor Supreme, Santa Rosa or Late Santa Rosa. The complex, intense flavor of Pluot is unique to interspecifics, much like a blend of fruit juices where the mixture is an improvement over any of the separate ingredients. Additionally, the sugar content of the interspecifics is much higher than in any standard plum or apricot–yielding fruit of incomparable sweetness.

They are great for mass plantings, containers, and borders.Printal bulbs, once planted, can remain in the ground for many years.

After flowering, let the leaves yellow before cutting them back. The plants are deer, rabbit, and squirrel resistant.
