Flavor Supreme Pluot Tree

Flavor Supreme Pluot Tree is one of the most celebrated inter-specific hybrid fruit trees, renowned for its intense sweetness, rich flavor, and vibrant appearance. The Flavor Supreme Pluot (Prunus salicina × Prunus armeniaca) produces medium to large fruit with mottled crimson skin and deep, ruby-red flesh bursting with complex, berry-like sweetness. With a remarkably high sugar content and smooth, velvety texture, it is considered one of the best-tasting pluots ever developed—perfect for fresh eating, desserts, and gourmet preserves.

This vigorous tree thrives in full sun and fertile, well-draining soil, rewarding growers with heavy crops when paired with a compatible Japanese plum pollinizer, such as Santa Rosa or Burgundy. Blooming early and ripening in mid-summer, Flavor Supreme delivers some of the season’s earliest and most flavorful stone fruit. Its crisp yet juicy texture and concentrated flavor make it a standout in home orchards and specialty fruit plantings.

Adaptable and ornamental, the Flavor Supreme Pluot Tree features showy spring blossoms and an attractive branching habit, making it both a productive producer and a beautiful landscape tree. Gardeners in warm, dry-summer climates particularly appreciate its reliable performance, vigorous growth, and exceptional fruit quality.

For anyone seeking a premium pluot variety with unmatched sweetness and complex flavor, Flavor Supreme is a must-have. Its combination of beauty, productivity, and extraordinary taste ensures a season of unforgettable harvests.

Marbled greenish maroon colored skin with red flesh. This variety eats well from firm ripe to when the juice is running down your arm. The intensely rich sweet taste is as good as it gets in early season fruits. More prone to flowering early in marginal climates, the Flavor Supreme is best suited to areas where apricots are known to do well. A great variety for planting a group of successive ripening trees, make this your early variety planted along with a Burgundy Plum or Flavor Queen pluoot. Good for fresh eating of course, but this one is real special for dehydrating, where the intense flavor of this special really comes out.
