APPEARANCE 
Small, brownish green and yellow skin, flesh is dark yellow with hints of a nice brown
AROMA
Barely any aroma – neither good nor bad
TEXTURE
Juicy, slightly crunchy, might even call it “al dente”
TASTE
Perfect sweetness that reminds me of something….but I can’t remember. The flavor doesn’t linger for long so I am required to keep eating it.
OVERALL
This is a tasty pluot with ideal texture and sweetness like really ripe melon, fruit loops, and candy in all the best ways without being cloyingly sweet.

What is the difference between pluots and plumcots?

So delicious, however….don’t eat more than one. The “grenade” refers to more than the flavor!

Oh my Violet. That sounds awful. I definitely haven’t had that problem!
