So you know what's almost as good as an orange? A pluot. I used to think i was pronounced with a silent t, but then I realized that it's a cross between an apricot and a plum, and it's really not getting a fancy name or anything like that. There are a lot of different types, though, and the skin can range from red to purple to orange to kinda green ( Read more... )

fruit lessons are my wall, so much :\, your politics scare me, [comm] lastvoyages, never looking in a mirror again, let's not talk about the scary shit, your ship is crazy

[OLIVE :C]

That sounds nice.

[MINOR TERROR. :C]

You've probably never had one, huh?

Re: Private takeyouapart August 22 2011, 15:05:01 UTC

I never have! We had enough trouble with normal crops, so I don't think making...hybrids was much of a priority for anyone.

Maybe you could ask the Admiral for some seeds? Or you could try the CES for trees that are already there, but...does it count as being manmade if it's a tree as well?

[IDEK if they'd cultivated apricots by then, but this is a show which features tomatoes despite their absence from Britain until the 16th century, so clearly this is a canon with no fucks to give.]

[ALL FRUITS WERE ALWAYS AROUND FOREVER, the end.] They have to make the trees grow the fruit. Pluots grow on trees. Small ones, usually, but they're pretty cool. I don't know that they'll show up in the wild, though.

Not that it wouldn't be awesome.

Have you ever tried grapples? It's not a hybrid, but your post made me think of them. Mostly because I'm not sure why a person would aspire to make grape-flavored apples.

worstsongever August 22 2011, 21:23:38 UTC

You know, I haven't. They kind of freak me out.

Not sure why, because I'm all over pluots. But grapples just make me think of apples bathing in Welch's.

stopthat_destro August 22 2011, 21:30:27 UTC

I think that's pretty much what they are. I never tried it, either. The point of them eludes me.

worstsongever August 22 2011, 21:35:53 UTC

Ditto. It's not even a real hybrid, it's just...Well I guess it's people being innovative, so that isn't really bad...

Thank you.. for talking about pluots. It's nice to see a distraction for once.

Private worstsongever August 23 2011, 01:25:32 UTC

No problem. That's what I was going for.

Private victimofnoone August 23 2011, 15:40:23 UTC

..I always liked cherries.

Private worstsongever August 24 2011, 04:08:30 UTC

Fresh ones, or the ridiculously sweet maraschino ones?

...I am so, so sorry, Olive.

[Private] worstsongever August 23 2011, 01:26:01 UTC

It's okay. [No talking about this, why talking about this. :c]

[Private] notarrowette August 23 2011, 01:42:40 UTC

It's not. It's really, really not. [It's the GUIIIIILT.]

It wasn't you.

You could request some seeds.

[Trying to be helpful. :C]

[Private] worstsongever August 23 2011, 03:36:33 UTC

[Awesome little brother. :c]

Want to help me grow them? :)

[Private] result_of_war August 24 2011, 02:21:54 UTC

Sure.

[Private] worstsongever August 24 2011, 04:10:46 UTC

I'll let you know when I have them.
