Splash Zaiger Pluot Tree

Flavor King pluot trees are celebrated for their large, sweet fruit with smooth, deep red skin and richly flavored red flesh. These plums are juicy and aromatic, perfect for fresh eating, baking, or making gourmet desserts. This late-season variety thrives in sunny, well-draining soil and requires a pollinator, such as Dapple Dandy or Splash Zaiger, for maximum yields. Flavor King trees are highly productive and deliver consistent harvests of premium fruit. With its bold sweetness and exceptional quality, Flavor King is a top choice for home orchards and gardeners seeking a superior pluot variety.
