One of the most visually pleasing stone fruits, Flavorosa Pluot has gorgeous deep purple fruits with a deep red flesh. It resembles a plum more than a pluot with medium sized fruits that are quite juicy and very flavorful. Best in climates where late frosts won’t damage the blooms, and needs to be pollinated by another early blooming pluot, plum or apricot. Requires 400-500 chill hours.
