Sold in stores as "Dinosaur Egg®," the large, firm Dapple Dandy Pluot® interspecific plum has a distinctive skin color that is pale green to yellow with red mottling. By traditional standards, the skin is unattractive, a fact that will be quickly forgotten after one taste of the creamy pink flesh. Dapple Dandy matures in late July with a spicy, plum-apricot flavor and a good acid to sugar balance (17 ºBrix). The very productive, spreading tree is pollenized by Flavor Queen Pluot®, Flavor Supreme Pluot®, Santa Rosa plum or Burgundy plum. Estimated chilling requirement 400-500 hours.
