Faqs

Q: Do I pick it when it's green? Is it sour?
A: Yes, you pick it when the skin is green but the fruit is slightly soft to the touch. Despite its green color, it is very sweet, not sour, when fully ripe. The green skin is a natural characteristic.

Q: What pollinator should I use?
A: Like most Pluots®, it requires a pollinator. Plant it near a Japanese plum like ‘Santa Rosa’ or ‘Burgundy’, or another Pluot® like ‘Flavor King’.

Q: How does it compare to a green grape?
A: It is much larger, has a stone fruit texture, and a flavor that is distinctly sweet and honeyed, like a plum, rather than the tartness of a grape. The green skin is purely visual.
