Ever eaten a Pluot? If you haven't, you've missed one of the great taste sensations in all of fruitdom. Try this to get your mouth watering - imagine biting into a juicy Japanese Plum fresh from the tree. Now imagine biting into a soft, sweet apricot at the same time. Let those tastes mix in your imagination for a moment. Now hit the order button, because that amazing taste is a reality when you plant a Flavor Grenade Pluot (Prunus domestica x prunus armeniaca 'Flavor Grenade').
Like a delicious mixed juice, these little flavor bombs explode with sweetness with your first bite. Beautiful red-blushed fruit is crisp and firm on the inside. They are super-juicy and will hang ripe on the tree for over a month.
Flavor Grenade Pluots Because these fruits are a marriage of a Plum and an Apricot, the sugar content of both is magnified in the Pluot. This makes Flavor Grenade incomparably sweet and uniquely delightful! Flavor Grenade needs a pollinator so plant it with the Splash Pluot tree, or plant with a Japanese Plum like the Beauty Plum.

The clouds of white blossoms will call tons of pollinators to your garden and make this a delightful tree to have in your front yard landscaping! Especially when it is dripping in those gorgeous fruits! These columnar trees can reach a hefty 15-20 feet in height when not pruned, but only take up a scant 1-2 feet in width! Prune shorter yet for container and planter gardening!
