The hallmark of Crimson Royale Pluot® interspecific is an elongated shape similar to an apricot. Excepting shape, this Pluot® is more reminiscent of a plum with tangy red skin and sweet, orange flesh that suggests a complex mixture of apple and plum flavors (23 ºBrix). This firm Pluot® sizes well (30-35) and offers a smooth, crunchy texture that holds up well in storage and shipping. Crimson Royale matures from the last week of July and into August. A pollenizer such as Flavorfall, Amigo 2 or Honey Punch is required. Estimated chilling requirement 800 hours. (U.S. Plant Patent No. 18559)
