Growing just twelve to twenty feet tall at maturity, you can easily find space for this tree in your garden, yard, or even patio. You can even further prune the tree to suit your size requirements. Since it bears tons of healthy, flavorful fruit, you'll be able to share with friends and neighbors, or plant it somewhere just for you!

Pollination Info
Flavor King® Pluot Tree Pollination
Flavor King® Pluot Trees are not self-fertile. You will need to plant another variety to achieve fruiting. Below are the most effective pollinators we have chosen for your area...
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your Flavor King Pluot in well-draining soil and in an area with 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day, in proximity to another early-blooming plum tree for pollination.
Dig a hole that is twice as wide but just as deep as the root ball. Place your tree, backfill your soil and water to settle the roots. Mulch the surrounding soil to conserve moisture.
2. Watering: Be sure to water the just-planted tree well during its first two years with deep regular watering, but not completely soggy soil. Once established, the tree needs less watering but still requires deep watering during low-rainfall periods.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) in the spring and fall. To conserve moisture and prevent weeds, give the tree a layer of mulch.
4. Pruning: This moderately spreading tree can be pruned to reduce size.
5. Pollination: The Flavor King Pluot requires pollinators such as Dapple Dandy, Santa Rosa Plum, Methley Plum, Burgundy Plum, or Late Santa Rosa Plum trees.
