Pronunciation[edit]

The subject of Pluot is very well covered with one obvious exception--there is no guide to pronouncing the name.

I work at the local supermarket (delaware, eastern united states) and I've always pronounced it like the plu with plural or pluto, and the ot from dot. --Sharth 19:48, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)

I planted a pluot about 5 years ago and another one since, they are great ! Delicious ! We say it ploo' - ought which is (probably) exactly what you have said. The article could be structured much like Apple and could have a lot more information about the genius of its developer, heh. Terryeo 15:28, 1 April 2006 (UTC)



I have been noticing this year that more plouts are being called plumcots, and also plumcot has an article that is seperate but its about "pluot". Should they be merged, and if so which name should be used? Quazywabbit 03:47, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The two articles should be merged. --Ye Olde Luke 21:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

The WordSpy ref I found [1] suggests that a "plumcot" is half-and-half, and the 1/4 3/4 hybrids are 'pluots' and 'apriums'. If this is correct and they're different, they shouldn't be merged. --Sgorton 18:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

More varieties[edit]

I've added more varieties from the CDC website. I'm unsure of how to add a citation to the list, so I've done it inline. Could someone please help me correct this?

Here is the info: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention http://www.fruitsandveggiesmatter.gov/month/pluot.html

If anyone knows where to obtain pluot trees in canada, please leave a message on my talk page.

Thank you. Heavenlyblue (talk) 23:30, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


    • Note: Some varieties now are included in both the Plumcot Variety list and Pluot Variety list. For example Dapple Dandy and Flavorosa. This is confusing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.7.130.136 (talk) 18:47, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Proposed merger[edit]

A tag has been added that proposed merging Prunus persica x Prunus americana with this page.

Oppose - Pluot and the other names listed on this page are used for marketing fruit derived from trees that are various hybrids between edible plums and apricots; as such it should not have a taxobox. Prunus persica x Prunus americana has a wild plum and a peach as parents, and should have a taxobox. The fruit from these hybrids are not marketed as pluots, apriums, apriplums, or plumcots. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 13:16, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

The other article is a stub, if the merge fails, can anyone familiar with these tree articles help expand and/or improve it, then? Or is there a better article for it to be proposed to be merged into? (WikiProject Montana is lost on this topic, none of us experts...) Montanabw(talk) 04:24, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
As a botanist who works on that plant family, I'd say that it is a legitimate subject for a page, and I've rearranged it for what I consider to be more appropriate emphasis. Since the tree in Montana is much less notable in that context than the page originally stated, I'd suggest that WikiProject Montana could ignore the page if they wish to do so. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 18:40, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
LOL. Basically I was curious if we had a candidate for a prod tag, but anyone who wants to boldly go over there will no doubt work undisturbed! Thanks! Montanabw(talk) 03:30, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Okay. I've removed the merger tags. Some other people have recently been improving coverage of Prunus species, so perhaps they'll be inspired by this hybrid. :) Sminthopsis84 (talk) 18:57, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

June 9, 2015 edits[edit]

I inadvertently edited without logging in and did not provide a summary of edits - sorry. The edits were to add a citation regarding the genetic make-up of apriums, and then I edited the pluot section to match the aprium information. Is the Andy Rooney 60 Minutes section salient to this article?Horst59 (talk) 15:27, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
