General Information

We are excited to offer these new fruit types, developed by Floyd Zaiger, Zaiger Genetics, Modesto, California. Pluots and Apriums are interspecific hybrids of plum and apricot. We have now had experience in testing a number of selections and are gaining some confidence in our ability to successfully crop these new fruit types.

Pluots and Apriums provide growers with options to traditional varieties of plum and apricot with diversity in fruit color and flavor. There is still much to be learned about their adaptation to eastern climates, but for those who venture into planting these exquisite fruits, there is great pontential for reward.
