Pluots, apriums, apriplums, plumcots, plumpicots, or pluclots are some of the hybrids between different Prunus species that are also called interspecific plums.
Whereas plumcots and apriplums are first-generation hybrids between a plum parent (P. salicina[1]) and an apricot (P. armeniaca), pluots and apriums are later-generations.
Natural plumcots (also called apriplums) have been known for hundreds of years from regions of the world that grow both plums and apricots from seed.
The flesh is usually dense and notable for its sweet taste due to a high content of fructose and other sugars.
[7] Apriums are usually only available early in the fruit season, like apricots and unlike pluots, which include some very late-ripening varieties.
