At Frog Hollow Farm, we're done with apricots for 2013; our Santa Rosa plums have all been picked; and we are ready to welcome our Dapple Dandy pluots.

Pluots are a cross between plums and apricots and our Dapple Dandy variety is incredibly sweet. Kids especially love it for its distinctive coloration and the lack of tartness in the skin. Playfully called the "dinosaur egg" pluot, the Dapple Dandy has marbled pink-and-green skin over delicate white flesh threaded with rose.
