Pluots, apriums, apriplums, plumcots, plumpicots, or pluclots are some of the hybrids between different Prunus species that are also called interspecific plums. Whereas plumcots and apriplums are first-generation hybrids between a plum parent (P. salicina[1]) and an apricot (P. armeniaca), pluots and apriums are later-generations.[2][3] Both names "plumcot" and "apriplum" have been used for trees derived from a plum seed parent, and are therefore equivalent.
