True Name/ common/ slang names:
 Pluots and Plumcots are too new to have a scientific name.

Description of look and flavor:
Pluots are ¾ plum and ¼ apricot  which makes them smooth skinned and plum flavored, with more sugar and flavor than any plum you’ve ever had before. 
Plumcots are 1/2 and ½ plum and apricot and they take on some of the features of both.  They are golden in color like an apricot, but the skin is smooth and glossy like a plum.  The flavor, however, is nothing like either one of them and is one of my favorites by far. 

Growth Period/ harvest –
They grow between May and September and should be eaten while still firm. 
 
Nutritional info –
They should have roughly the same nutritional info as plums and apricots. 

Other uses –
Feed them to a liger, they love plumcots!

History –
These are interspecific hybrids of plums and apricots  that were created in the 1990’s by Floyd Zaiger.

Interesting facts/ misnomers -
Zaiger Genetics have bred about 20 varieties of pluot and one type of aprium.
