Flavor Queen Pluots:
1 Like
I have Purple Crush plumcots and flavorella plumcots and they are totally different varieties, flavorella plumcots has a very broad leaf (it is similar to a plum but is big as an apricot).
I’ll even take a year to get fruit in my Purple Crush plumcots ,So until then not really know whether my 2 trees are pluot or plumcots (I hope it’s not king flavor, because already I have 3 trees of this variety).
I think like ulises Yellow Crush plumcot It has much resemblance to flavor queen pluot both in the form of fruit and leaves

I have the feeling that Purple Crush is Flavor King Pluot.
Post pictures of the leaves, maybe someone can identify them.
Okay, Flavor King (left) versus Flavor Finale (right). Can for size perspective:

I vote for Flavor Finale.
Well, it’s bigger for sure, but Flavor King is the “King” of flavor in my yard. It is by far the best tasting pluot I grow. I was blessed with a huge bumper crop of fruit this year, and Flavor King is FULL of fruit, omg. Flavor Finale is not quite reqdy. Another 2-3 weeks. #diedandwenttopluotheaven

Flavor Queen pluot ( aka Yellow Crush apricot) will start flowering this week.
enjoyed reading this thread.
Ironic, as it’s one of the first ones ever. I only get a few here, not ideal conditions, but agree, it’s so good, a few are good enough for me to keep the tree. Well it’s only one scaffold. Scott mentions others that are close, and more productive here. I really doubt anything tastes like it, hope I’m wrong!
Is Yellow Crush a marketing gimmick? Or more like a scam? On the picture, it was depicted as an apricot-like fruit, however, in real life, it’s actually Flavor Queen Pluot.
And Purple Crush is probably Flavor King Pluot.
If they’re actually Queen and King it is a scam. But at least with King you’re getting the best by any name. Queen isn’t worth growing to my taste.

So how do they taste?

Once Flavor Queen went off patent, they were free to propagate it and sell it, but they still wouldn’t be able to use the Flavor Queen name due to the Trademark. So throw a new name on it and it will stand out in a big retail store without having to spend any money developing it.

This type of naming must be very frustrating to those gardeners who have limited space and end up planting two of the same tree. I know up here, the plant propagation law states that the original name that the plant was registered under to obtain Canadian plant breeders rights must accompany the new name on the tag. I don’t think it is actually enforced though.
