Additional Notes

Grower’s Insight: Combination pluots shine in regions with unpredictable spring weather. Multiple grafted varieties increase overlap during bloom, which helps compensate for limited pollinator flight in cool or rainy conditions—especially valuable in coastal and maritime climates.
Regional Insight: In the Puget Sound and other cool, wet-spring regions, pluot bloom can coincide with limited pollinator flight. Multiple grafted varieties help, but supporting early-season pollinators further improves success.
Cool-Spring Pollination Tip: Encourage early pollinators with companion blooms and habitat, plant additional pluots or Japanese plums nearby when possible, and avoid insecticide sprays during bloom.
Annual pruning is essential to keep all grafts balanced and productive.

Planting & Care – 4-in-1 Combination Pluot

Site Selection

Choose a sunny site to support sugar development across all varieties.
Good airflow helps manage disease and supports even ripening.

Soil Preparation

Plant in well-drained soil.
Avoid areas with prolonged standing water.

Planting Instructions

Dig a wide hole to accommodate the full root system.
Set the root flare at or just above soil level.
Backfill with native soil and water thoroughly.

Watering & Fertilizing

Water regularly during the first 1–2 years.
Once established, water during extended dry periods.
Fertilize lightly in spring if growth appears weak.

Pruning & Balance

Prune annually to maintain balance between grafted limbs.
Summer pruning helps control vigor and light distribution.

Harvest & Use

Harvest each variety as it reaches peak maturity.
Expect multiple harvest windows rather than one single pick.
Best enjoyed fresh for full flavor and texture.

General Tips

Thin fruit to prevent limb strain and improve size.
Label branches to track ripening order if desired.
Consistent pruning leads to long-term productivity.
