Maybe I've been living under a rock but I've never even heard of this fruit before,I had some today and they were yummy.I gather a pluot is part plum but what is it crossed with?

Let's just hope someone doesn't cross a cumquat with something else. :Q

YES!

I had these 2 years ago when I first saw them, and they were the most delicious thing I had ever tasted (plum wise). Then last year I got some and they were just meh, so I haven't bothered this year, settling for peaches instead.

Dinosaur Egg looked like a brand name to me, and I found a "plum thing" that looked and tasted Pluoty in a market in NY, but if the company has a patent on it, I guess they must have been a light colored plum.

Would probably depend on how that fruit came about .. If apricots and plums can interpollinate, no .. if it took a little work with a gene gun, yes 🙂
