Description

The Dapple Dandy Pluot is a true feast for the senses, offering dramatic beauty and an exhilarating sweet-tart flavor. Its skin is a mesmerizing canvas of yellow-green dappled with red spots, transforming to a deeper red as it softens. Inside, the flesh is a stunning “starburst” pattern of creamy white and bright red, crisp, and incredibly juicy. The flavor is a perfect, vibrant balance of high sugar and refreshing acidity, making each bite complex and satisfying. It’s a must-have for the adventurous fruit grower.
