Have you ever tasted a #pluot #fruit before?

Pluots /หˆpluหษ’t/ are later generations of complex hybrid between the Japanese plum, Prunus salicina (providing the greater amount of parentage), and the apricot, Prunus armeniaca.[6][7] The fruit's exterior has smooth skin closely resembling that of a plum. Pluots were developed in the late 20th century by Floyd Zaiger.[8]

A little end-of-stonefruit-season baking: a pluot-nectarine galette. It leaked a bit, but I hope that wonโ€™t affect the taste. Look at those bubbles! #galette #pluot #nectarine
Itโ€™s truly incredible but well into November I still am harvesting stone fruits. These are Flavor Finale pluots. Pictures from about six days ago, but even today thereโ€™s still fruit. And it is sweet and very intense in flavor. #fruits #fruittree #pluot #stonefruits

Pluot blooms seem to have made it through the night's snow, hopefully the pollinators fared well too.
