Our little crop of fruit earlier this month was from a cross between an apricot tree and a plum tree. As you saw, the resultant fruit looked almost identical to an apricot.
These are apparently also the same two fruits, but look predominantly like plums with different coloring.
I wonder how it is that they produce different-appearing and tasting fruits, or is it just random????

Perhaps it’s a question of what varieties are crossed. For example, if you crossed Granny Smith apples with Green Anjou pears (assuming such a thing is possible), you’d probably get a very different result than if you crossed Golden Delicious apples with Bosc pears.

I didn’t get any yet this season. They will be less expensive later on.

I like the dark ones dried a lot, too.

Do you have dried pluots? Or do you mean dried plums?

Might be dark plums that look exactly like pluots.
