A pluot is a cross between a plumcot and a plum (P. armeniaca x P. domestica x P. domestica).<br /></p></blockquote> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://krissy.vox.com/library/post/in-texas-we-have-plumcots.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00b8ea0716b01bc000e398b118f20003?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> san francisco food california texas austin fruit whole foods central market
