Mottled Pluot

I’ve never seen one of these before. The name reminds me of a “Pernicious Snid” from the chocolate factory.

It’s a plum-apricot cross. Delicious!

Never heard of it. Good cross.

They've been available for years and are very tasty. Some of the ones I tried were called Dinosaur Eggs, just a cute marketing name. They taste more like plums than apricots to me.

The thread title had me thinking it was maybe about some bird.
Suppose you can make pluot jam?

@AndyD

I’m sure you can. The taste and texture are very much like a plum but sweeter.
