In Texas we have plumcots
Oh how I miss the fancy, fancy food in San Francisco! Austin is the home of Whole Foods so I'm not out on a limb or anything, but the produce in SF is way better. The Central Market near my house has a ginormous produce section but a very small selection of organic stuff. Whereas I might have eaten a pluot in San Francisco this morning, I had a plumcot today instead. And I learned the difference between the two is not just the spelling:
A plumcot is a cross between an apricot and plum (Prunus armeniaca x Prunus domestica). A pluot is a cross between a plumcot and a plum (P. armeniaca x P. domestica x P. domestica).
