Plums & Pluots

I am not sure there is a fruit out there that comes in the wide range of colors as the plum or the pluot (which is part plum, part apricot). I really witnessed this one September when I was at a farmers market in Southern California and saw tables full of baskets of plums in all sorts of colors. It was so beautiful.

Where to Start

To start learning more about plums and pluots read these posts first:

• When are Pluots in Season?
• How to Tell if a Pluot is Ripe

My son is the biggest pluot/plum fan in the family. His two favorite are Cherry Plums (part plums or cherries) and Flavor Grenade Pluots (the coolest name for a piece of fruit ever!)
