How to help Flavor King pluot thrive
- 1
Choose a rootstock suited to the site’s soil, drainage, salinity, desired size, and pest pressures.
- 2
Plant bare-root trees while dormant, keeping the graft union above finished grade.

Thin developing fruit early enough to improve size and reduce limb breakage.

Use dormant and summer pruning intentionally to balance shade, access, vigor, and next year’s fruiting wood.
