Dapple Dandy Pluot

This large freestone fruit is also called ‘Dinosaur Egg’. When the incredibly sweet and delicious red and white flesh is ripe, the yellow/green skin turns a dappled maroon and yellow. A frequent taste test winner for its distinct Plum-Apricot flavor.

Dandy is a good pollinizer for Pluot varieties and among the most widely adaptable to colder climates. Thin the fruit so it doesn’t overset and become biennial. Chill hours 300-400.
