Pluots , apriums , apriplums , or plumcots , are some hybrids between various Prunus species also called interspesifik plums. In the United States and Canada, these fruits are known by most regulatory bodies as specific prunes. While plumcots and apriplums are the first generation hybrids between prunes of prem ( P. salicina or P. serasifera or their hybrids), and apricots ( P. armeniaca ), pluots and apriums are the next generation. Both the names "plumcot" and "apriplum" have been used for trees derived from the mother's premix, and therefore are equivalent.

Plumcots and apriplums
Natural plumcots/apriplums have been known for hundreds of years from regions of the world that grow both prunes and apricots from seeds. The name plumcot was made by Luther Burbank. Plumcot trees can reproduce asexually with shoots while the apriplum tree is produced from hybridized seedlings and can not reproduce.

Pluots
Pluots is the next generation of genetically-quartered (25%) apricot and three quarters (75%) plum hybrids. Fruit exterior has a smooth skin that resembles a plum. Pluots developed at the end of the 20th century by Floyd Zaiger.
Apriums
Apricum is a complex plum-apricot hybrid that exhibits the properties and scents of apricots primarily. Genetically, they are one quarter (25%) plum and three quarters (75%) of apricots.
Apriums look like apricots on the outside. The meat is usually dense and famous for its sweet taste because of its high fructose and other sugar content. Aprica is usually only available at the beginning of the fruit season, such as apricots and unlike pluots, which include some very slow varieties.
The Aprium tree grows faster and smaller compared to other common home apricots. The fruit is golden, in red. Half ripe fruit is ripe and immature if picked before it is fully cooked.
