Fruit Hybrid Information
Pluot-
A pluot (plü-ot) is a tradename for a fruit developed in the late 20th century by Floyd Zaiger. In the United States, the fruit is known by most regulatory agencies as an interspecific plum. It is a complex cross hybrid of plum and apricot, being 3/4 plum and 1/4 apricot in parentage. Pluots are widely available in grocery stores, and are sometimes marketed as a Dinosaur Egg (another trademark, belonging to a California grower who was one of the first to plant large acreage of the hybrid.)
The fruit's exterior fairly closely resembles a plum's. Pluots are noted for their sweetness (due to a very high sugar content) and for their intense flavor. Pluots are also rich in vitamin A.

Aprium-
An aprium is a fruit invented in the late 20th century by Floyd Zaiger. It is a complex cross hybrid of plum and apricot, being 2/3 apricot and 1/3 plum in parentage. Its exterior resembles an apricot to some extent, but is mostly smooth like a plum.
Apriums are noted for their sweetness (due to a very high sugar content) and their intense flavor.

Peacotum-
A Peacotum is a peach/apricot/plum hybrid, said to taste similar to fruit punch, created by Zaiger's Genetics, a company that despite its name does not use genetic engineering, but rather simply speeds the process of cross pollination by hand pollinating.
Plumcot-
A plumcot consists of a plum and apricot planted together into one fruit. It was created by Luther Burbank. Although they look more like apricots, they taste more like plums. They are very juicy. The plumcot is made by intertwining the roots of a plum and apricot tree before it fully grows.
