Flavor Supreme Plout
Flavor Supreme Pluot (Prunus x 'Flavor Supreme')
Flavor Supreme Pluot (Prunus x 'Flavor Supreme') is a unique hybrid fruit tree that blends the best characteristics of plums and apricots. With its intense, sweet-tart flavor and marbled red-purple skin, this pluot is a favorite among fruit enthusiasts and home orchard growers alike.
Distinctive Features
'Flavor Supreme' produces medium to large fruits with firm, juicy flesh and a rich, complex flavor that balances sweetness and acidity. The skin is mottled reddish-purple, while the interior is a vibrant crimson red. The tree blooms in early spring with showy pink blossoms, adding ornamental value before fruit sets. This variety is partially self-fruitful but benefits from cross-pollination with another Japanese plum or pluot such as 'Flavor King' or 'Santa Rosa'.
