Plum parfait plumcot is a plum/apricot cross resulting in a unique blend of flavors. Plumcots have a higher sugar content and a much sweeter flavor than plums or apricots. The fruit has pinkish orange skin with amber marbled flesh. Your plum parfait is freestone, so feel free to give one to the kids for a healthy snack; they shouldn't have to struggle too much with the pit. This plum cot variety blooms early, so you know spring is coming soon when you see the beautiful blossoms from your tree. The plum parfait is a compact small tree which should keep you off of the ladder at least a little, and is also self fertile. 400 chill hours. Shipped potted in soil to ensure a healthier start when planted in yard or garden.

What's a plumcot?
A plumcot is a plum/apricot cross resulting in a unique blend of flavors. The fruit is sweeter than a plum or an apricot.

Something you gotta try, as suggested by one of my fruit tree suppliers, L.E. Cooke Company from Visalia California... “Plant 3 or 4 trees in the space of 1. Fruit trees are planted for the purpose of harvesting the reward of incredibly delicious tree ripened fruit. Why not extend this pleasure from 2-3 weeks to 10 to 12 weeks?” How is that done you ask? Read further…
The trees should be planted in a triangle (or box for 4) 24-30 inches apart and at a slight outward angle. The center limbs are pruned so that crossing limbs are removed. Otherwise, normal care is all that is necessary.

Can you give me suggestions on which varieties to choose that would be best for combining into a limited space?
Pick a combination of varieties that are similar in growth habit and foliage texture. Varieties can be selected for mild winter areas, traditional fruit growing areas, mountains or deserts. Why not have fruit all summer long?

For example?
Apples….red, green and yellow, or early, mid and late season. Apricots...June, July and August ripening. Cherries...early June ripening, mid June ripening and a sweet pollinator. Plums...red meat, purple meat and yellow meat.... I think you get the picture. Just have fun!
