{"id":6895129034786,"title":"Plumcot","handle":"plumcot","description":"\u003ch1\u003ePlumcot\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn interspecific hybrid between a Japanese plum and an apricot, Plumcot is a small (depending on rootstock) slow-growing, deciduous fruit-tree, which can be fan-trained on a warm wall or grown as a bush-tree with a 2’\/60cm trunk in mild areas. The fruit has the texture and skin of a plum and the sweet spiciness of an apricot. The leaves are mid-green. The flowers appear quite early in the year (April), and may need frost protection; they will cross pollinate with plums and apricots, so are better with a plumcot pollination partner. Needs staking and plenty of compost or manure in the planting hole. Mulch with compost or manure in early spring to conserve moisture.
