Plumscrumptious Plumcot - Prunus salicina x armeniaca
A plumcot is a direct cross between plum and apricot, and it eats like both: apricot perfume and sugar behind the juicy, dark fleshed bite of a Japanese plum. Prunus salicina x armeniaca grows as a compact, open framed deciduous tree that blossoms very early, ahead of almost all other stone fruit, with fruit following through mid summer. It suits gardeners who want something out of the ordinary from a single tree sized space.
Why Plumcot
Flavour: Higher sugar and more aroma than a straight plum, with the smooth skin and juiciness of the plum parent.
Early Blossom: White to blush pink flowers open in late winter, before the leaves and before most of the garden wakes.
Compact Frame: Smaller and more open than a peach or a standard plum, easily held at around 3m.
Warm Climate Cropping: Modest winter chill requirement, so it fruits across temperate and warm temperate districts.
Pollination: Crops far more reliably with a Japanese plum such as Santa Rosa flowering nearby at the same time.
Ideal Applications
Backyard fruit tree: A single specimen suits a courtyard or small rear garden.
Mixed orchard row: Sits well beside Japanese plums, which double as its pollinators.
Espalier or fan: Flexible young wood ties down readily against a warm fence.
Edible ornamental bed: Early blossom carries a garden bed before spring perennials start.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 2.5-3m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 4-5m
Best Planting Season: Winter while dormant
Soil & Drainage: Free draining loam, since stone fruit will not tolerate wet feet and are prone to root rot in heavy clay
Establishment Care: Water deeply twice weekly through the first summer and keep moisture even while fruit is sizing. Prune in late summer rather than winter to limit silver leaf and bacterial canker, and thin heavy crops so branches are not stripped.
