FlavorKing

FlavorKing is a Pluot, a unique plum-apricot hybrid. It is of medium size and almost globose shape. It is a semi-clingstone fruit and has firm, juicy flesh when ripe. The sweetness levels are excellent, and the remarkable, spicy bouquet and flavour is reminiscent of bubble-gum. The fruit has a reddish-purple skin, prominent lenticels and red flesh.

 

FlavorKing is a late mid-season plum. Pluots are popular with growers as they can be left to hang on the tree. However, FlavorKing has a reputation for being quite difficult to grow in terms of yield and fruit size.
