Kath says... If the flowers are pollinated it may set fruit. Young trees can abort their fruit in order to grow, this is very common with small grafted tress. We recommend to remove all fruits on young grafted trees for the first two years to allow the tree to establish.

Carolyn says... I am keen to purchase a pluot treet. I have tasted the fruit and the skin is dark with a light coloured flesh. When I enquire on the internet for regarding this tree, details appear for the plumcot tree instead. The plumcot tree appears to have a red skin unlike the pluot I have tasted. Could someone please give me details of the pluot tree, where it can be purchased and if it requires a pollinator etc.? With thanks	About the Author Carolyn2 Western Australia 25th May 2009 11:40pm #UserID: 2379 Posts: 2 View All Carolyn2's Edible Fruit Trees

Adam says... "Pluot" is a registered trademark of Zaiger's Genetics, rather then a generic name for a plum x apricot hybrid (plumcot). There are many varieties with different characteristics. http://www.fruitsandveggiesmatter.gov/month/pluot.html Not sure if they are all released in Australia, but I would look for them under specific variety names, rather then just "pluot".

Nicole says... Flemmings wholesale nursery sells them. Most nurserys will order in if you leave a deposit. Flemming should also be able to tell you the pollinator, Maripos Plum?.
