Semi Dwarf Flavor Grenade Pluot Tree (Plum & Apricot Cross)
Semi Dwarf Flavor Grenade Pluot Tree on Citation (Prunus hybrid ‘Flavor Grenade’) is a striking interspecific plum-apricot hybrid prized for its elongated, lime-green fruit blushed with red and its explosive crunch and flavor. The firm, crisp flesh is exceptionally sweet with a lively tart finish, making it a standout for fresh eating, fruit trays, or desserts. Known for holding its firmness and flavor for weeks on the tree without losing quality, Flavor Grenade is one of the longest-hanging Pluots®, providing an extended harvest season. Grafted onto Citation rootstock, this tree combines moderate vigor, soil adaptability, and excellent productivity, making it ideal for home orchards.
