A FAMILY FARM GROWING FOR YOU
ORGANIC PLUOT VARIETIES GROWN AT TINY'S
Flavorosa is the earliest harvested pluot at Tiny's. Tastes much like plum concentrate with dark red flesh. LATE JUNE

Flavor Queen harvest falls in late August. This pluot is the sweetest of all pluot varieties. LATE AUGUST
Dapple Dandy (AKA Dino Egg) is the original plum/apricot hybrid developed in the 1980's. Excellent flavor. EARLY TO MID SEPTEMBER
Flavor King looks very much like an ordinary plum but with extraordinary flavor. Although tending to smaller size, this pluot has concentrated plum-like flavor. EARLY SEPTEMBER
Flavor Grenade has a uniquely crunchy texture much like an apple. Even when soft, it maintains its unmistakable crunch. MID SEPTEMBER
Flavor Heart is aptly named because of its very pronounced heart-like shape. Ripens very quickly and has a short shelf life so must be eaten when soft. FIRST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER
Flavorich is the latest of all pluot varieties and sports lively orange flesh and a crunchy texture with a pleasing sugar/acid balance. Stores for up to a month at room temp! LATE SEPTEMBER
What's a Pluot? A pluot is a cross of a plum and an apricot and is developed by intentionally touching the pistil of an apricot with the pollen of a plum. This process is repeated several thousand times by researchers and the pit of the resulting fruit is planted and grown to maturity. Out of several thousand of these processes, perhaps only one or two trees may be worthy of evaluation, neither of which may ultimately prove to be a suitable fruit for the marketplace.
Dapple Fire is a very large mid-season pluot almost as large as a medium size apple with red flesh and very sweet flavor. Harvested about two weeks ahead of Dapple Dandy. MID AUGUST
