Damaged 5 gal Flavor King Pluot!
Comments (6)Well, we don't have a huge amount of humidity where I live, but it's always better to have an open center. I am going to watch the branch. If it doesn't look like it's healing itself, I'll prun it out, and see if I can figure a way to start it as a seedling. Hopefully I can just root it, since I don't have any rootstock to graft it to. I might call on some of my CRFG folks and see if they do, though. Always possible someone has some Citation rootstock available. Good grafting practice for me I suppose!

Comments (4)You got me, Bradybb. I'm not on the scion exchange circuit so I couldn't tell you. I simply grafted from one tree on my lot to another for the heck of it. And what can be better than having more Flavor King pluots to enjoy?...See MoreFlavor King Pluot free stone?
Comments (3)Yes they are less vigorous but not really harder to grow. I like them on Citation. The fruit is much bigger than on Myro 29C even though 29C gives a much more vigorous tree. On either root the lower part of the tree soon becomes bare. The solution is to prune some every year to keep forcing new growth down low. I have a hard time doing that. But mine produce just as well on long old pendant spurs that should have been renewed 5 years ago....See MoreFlavor King Pluot
Comments (9)Bberry: I have no experience with Flavor King in a humid climate but have grown it in CA and in my greenhouse in TX. It is one of the hardest pluots to grow because of it's tendency to crack. I've grown it the last two yrs with no cracking. But that's zero rain and a very even watering system. It's not one I'd try in Maine, too wet and humid and not enough heat. The pluots need a lot of heat for best flavor. If you want an interspecific hybrid that might work in your area try Tasty Rich aprium, basically an apricot. But it is a very good apricot, esp considering how early it is, two wks before Tomcot. I've read that pluots are genetically identical to plums. So it is debatable how much apricot parentage they contain. To me they taste like plums, very good plums to be sure, but I cann't taste anything like an apricot. The newest pluots I have, including Geo Pride, are very very good.
