Flavor Supreme Pluot
Pluot ‘Flavor Supreme’
The Flavor Supreme Pluot is a masterpiece of fruit breeding, offering an explosion of sweet, complex flavor in a stunning package. This interspecific hybrid (predominantly plum) produces medium to large, round fruit with a unique green and maroon speckled skin. Inside, the deep red flesh is exceptionally sweet, juicy, and fine-textured, with a rich flavor that surpasses that of most standard plums. While it requires a pollinator partner, the reward is one of the most delicious and memorable stone fruits you can grow, perfect for eating fresh or showcasing in desserts.
