Abstract:
Hybrids between plums (Prunus salicina
Lindl., P. cerasifera Ehrh. or their hybrids)
and apricots (P. armeniaca L.) are referred
to as plumcots. 'Spring Satin' is a large,
high-quality, early-ripening fruit that is
well-adapted to the humid climate of the
southeastern United States. 'Spring Satin' is
the first plumcot cultivar released by a public
breeding program.
This paper will review
the origin and history of plumcots as well as
describe 'Spring Satin' and its origin.
