Pluots in My Garden

I purchased a 3-variety pluot tree from Raintree Nursery in 1996.  In 2000 all 3 varieties produced for the first time.  Pluots are an interspecific hybrid of plum and apricot developed by Zaiger Genetics.  These varieties are patented.  I have Flavor Supreme, Flavor Queen and Flavor King on my tree.  I grow this fruit organically here in Seattle... no sprays, no bugs.  An misting irragtion system was set-up in 2000, and this helped the fruit develop into juicy treats.

First to bear is Flavor Supreme.

Second to bear is Flavor Queen.

 

Last to bear is Flavor King.  A photo of almost ripe fruit.
