The Dapple Dandy Pluotr, (interspecific), 'Prunus pluot', fruit tree is a taste test winner. It ranks with Flavor King and Flavor Supreme Pluotr as a best-tasting fruit. The creamy white and red-fleshed pluot has a wonderful plum-apricot flavor. The fruit skin is greenish-yellow with red spots, turning to a maroon and yellow dapple as it matures . It can be pollenized by Flavor Supreme Pluotr, Santa Rosa or Burgundy Plum. The complex, intense flavor of Pluotr 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.
