{"product_id":"plumcot","title":"Plumcot","description":"\u003ch1\u003ePlumcot\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn interspecific hybrid between a Japanese plum and an apricot, Plumcot is a small (depending on rootstock) slow-growing, deciduous fruit-tree, which can be fan-trained on a warm wall or grown as a bush-tree with a 2’\/60cm trunk in mild areas. The fruit has the texture and skin of a plum and the sweet spiciness of an apricot. The leaves are mid-green. The flowers appear quite early in the year (April), and may need frost protection; they will cross pollinate with plums and apricots, so are better with a plumcot pollination partner. Needs staking and plenty of compost or manure in the planting hole. Mulch with compost or manure in early spring to conserve moisture. Prune, like all stone fruits, in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSite:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sheltered, warm, sunny site\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertile, well-drained, loamy soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePick:\u003c\/strong\u003e August\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeep:\u003c\/strong\u003e Does not keep for more than a few days\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partially self-fertile; best with a pollination partner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eating, culinary, preserves\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp title=\"Fruit tree rootstocks\"\u003eLearn more about fruit tree rootstocks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto by \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrei\u003c\/p\u003e, cropped, and licensed under \u003cp\u003eCC BY-SA 2.0\u003c\/p\u003e.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Bareroot \/ St Julien A \/ 2yr","offer_id":48736415809793,"sku":"ZNV0D 6895129034786","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/1540\/4801\/files\/6181621071_ecbb70b73c_k.jpg?v=1777965480","url":"https:\/\/futureforests-us.com\/products\/plumcot","provider":"Future-Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
