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)

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)

I have been noticing this year that more plouts are being called plumcots, and also plumcot has an article that is seperate but its about "pluot". Should they be merged, and if so which name should be used? Quazywabbit 03:47, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The two articles should be merged. --Ye Olde Luke 21:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

The WordSpy ref I found [1] 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)
