Plumcots Vs. Pluots
Chip Brantley, whose pluot book I late reviewed, has too late penned an article on the distinction (or lack at that topographic point of) betwixt plumcots in addition to pluots.
The Whole Truth About Pluots Versus Plumcots (Slate)
As I convey mentioned before, I myself definitely favor "plumcot". I'm bothered yesteryear the thought of something trademarked becoming a generic term for something for which at that topographic point is no existent non-trademarked term, which would hold upwards the representative if 1 insisted that plumcots are alone 50-50 plum-apricot hybrids (well, I suppose there's ever "interspecific plum", but come upwards on...). It restricts give-and-take in addition to merchandise yesteryear people who don't concur the trademark, in addition to it dilutes the trademark, in addition to then pretty much no 1 wins.
On a semi-related note, does anybody know the exact species brand upwards of the "cherums" I've been seeing inward the store? They've only come upwards inward big packages, in addition to then I haven't nonetheless bought one, but they expect pretty heavy on the plum side of things. I'd hold upwards stunned if unopen to 1 could teach whatsoever fertility of lawsuit inward a cherry x plum hybrid without a bunch of backcrosses to 1 side or the other, but I'd hold upwards curious simply which species they're working with. I'd wondered if perhaps it was actually a hybrid alongside the cherry-plum, Prunus cerasifera, but if y'all believe what fiddling I've constitute online, it sounds similar it involves actual cherries...
