Talk:Pluot

message: The subject of Pluot is very well covered with one obvious exception--there is no guide to pronouncing the name.
I work at the local supermarket (delaware, eastern united states) and I've always pronounced it like the plu with plural or pluto, and the ot from dot. --Sharth 19:48, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)
* That is the correct way to pronounce Pluot.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ewoolley (talk • contribs) 00:44, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I planted a pluot about 5 years ago and another one since, they are great ! Delicious !  We say it ploo' - ought which is (probably) exactly what you have said. The article could be structured much like Apple and could have a lot more information about the genius of its developer, heh. Terryeo 15:28, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

text: The WordSpy ref I found  suggests that a "plumcot" is half-and-half, and the 1/4 3/4 hybrids are 'pluots' and 'apriums'.  If this is correct and they're different, they shouldn't be merged. --Sgorton 18:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I've added more varieties from the CDC website.  I'm unsure of how to add a citation to the list, so I've done it inline.  Could someone please help me correct this?

thread_title:  More varieties 

message: A tag has been added that proposed merging Prunus persica x Prunus americana with this page.
Oppose - Pluot and the other names listed on this page are used for marketing fruit derived from trees that are various hybrids between edible plums and apricots; as such it should not have a taxobox. Prunus persica x Prunus americana has a wild plum and a peach as parents, and should have a taxobox. The fruit from these hybrids are not marketed as pluots, apriums, apriplums, or plumcots.

replies: text: The other article is a stub, if the merge fails, can anyone familiar with these tree articles help expand and/or improve it, then? Or is there a better article for it to be proposed to be merged into? (WikiProject Montana is lost on this topic, none of us experts...)  Montanabw(talk) 04:24, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: As a botanist who works on that plant family, I'd say that it is a legitimate subject for a page, and I've rearranged it for what I consider to be more appropriate emphasis. Since the tree in Montana is much less notable in that context than the page originally stated, I'd suggest that WikiProject Montana could ignore the page if they wish to do so.

replies: text: LOL. Basically I was curious if we had a candidate for a prod tag, but anyone who wants to boldly go over there will no doubt work undisturbed! Thanks! Montanabw(talk) 03:30, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Okay. I've removed the merger tags. Some other people have recently been improving coverage of Prunus species, so perhaps they'll be inspired by this hybrid. :) Sminthopsis84 (talk) 18:57, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merger 

message: I inadvertently edited without logging in and did not provide a summary of edits - sorry.  The edits were to add a citation regarding the genetic make-up of apriums, and then I edited the pluot section to match the aprium information.  Is the Andy Rooney 60 Minutes section salient to this article?Horst59 (talk) 15:27, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  June 9, 2015 edits 

message: I am not an expert on any particular distinction between "plumcot" and "apriplum", but I made a correction to the misinformed statement about a difference in their reproduction. Their propagation is the same as any cultivar of apricots, plums, or other tree fruits. Therefore, I'm not sure if even the corrected statement has any relevance to the article.  But at least it is no longer misleading, and can be moved or removed completely if desired. jtp174 (talk) 04:14, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
