Splash Pluot

Splash Pluot

One of the most striking colored fruits you might ever see, Splash Pluots look like a bunch of miniature suns hanging from the tree as they ripen to a bright orange-red. Splash Pluot fruits are intensely sweet, medium sized and heart shaped and also make excellent dried fruit if you find yourself in a sugar coma after trying to eat every pluot that this copious upright tree produces.

Pests & Diseases: Our pluots are not bothered by pests aside from the occasional aphids. Bacterial Canker can occasionally damage trunks or branches. Symptoms of this disease are exudations of amber-colored sap. Spraying lime-sulfur or copper in the fall and early spring can help control Bacterial Canker. Brown rot can affect fruits in particularly wet springs or areas with poor air flow.
