Dapple Dandy
It can be pollenized by Flavor Supreme PluotŪ, Santa Rosa or Burgundy Plum. The Dapple Dandy PluotŪ, (interspecific), 'Prunus pluot', fruit tree is a taste test winner. It ranks with Flavor King and Flavor Supreme PluotŪ as a best-tasting fruit. The fruit skin is greenish-yellow with red spots, turning to a maroon and yellow dapple as it matures . The creamy white and red-fleshed pluot has a wonderful plum-apricot flavor. The complex, intense flavor of PluotŪ is unique to interspecifics, much like a blend of fruit juices where the mixture is an improvement over any of the separate ingredients. Additionally, the sugar content of the interspecifics is much higher than in any standard plum or apricot--yielding fruit of incomparable sweetness. ... more info
Sonata The Sonata keeps well in storage, retaining its flavor essences better than Gala. The Sonata apple has a taste that is similar to a Golden. Matures similar to Golden Delicious. It is a very attractive apple, with a bright, pinkish red blush over a yellow background. Sonata apple trees have low to medium vigor. With a firm and finely grained, creamy colored flesh, it is cold hardy and highly precocious and productive. We highly recommend Sonata for hobbyists and home gardeners as this is truly a gourmet apple. |
