Prunus x 'Flavor Grenade'

Enjoy explosive, sweet-as-honey flavor! This green fruit with a red blush hangs on the tree and can be eaten for four to six weeks as it keeps getting sweeter. It extends the stone fruit season and can be harvested into October. when it will still have a distinctive crunch.

This variety is showing promise as one that may ripen successfully in some of the cooler summer regions (in some years) - so if you want to "push the zone" and experiment in your short or cooler summer region, Flavor Grenade is a great variety to choose. Chill hours 200.

Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 5

Mature Height:  15' 

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: July through September

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • Hi. Can Emerald Beaut or Superior Asian Plum pollinate this tree?

    Probably yes, but your mileage will vary depending on your environment.

  • I have an Emerald Drop Pluot and a Splash Pluot, would a Flavor Grenade pollinate that well?

    It will likely be just fine. But I would recommend a Beauty Plum as well to generally pollinate all the various plum crosses we sell.

  • Will sweet treat pluerry pollinate the flavor grenade pluot

    Probably not. We suggest an Asian plum, like Beauty or Santa Rosa (depending on your area) to use as a universal pollinator for your pluots and pluerry trees.

  • Will TLOR-TSIRAN APRICOT pollinate FLAVOR GRENADE PLUOT?

    Probably not. Tlor-Tsiran is mostly apricot and pollinates with other apricots. Flavor Grenade is mostly Asian plum and pollinates with other Asian plums.

  • Is the plum “Flavor Grenade” suitable for western Washington? Are “Shiro” or “Beauty” suitable pollenizers? When will this tree ship? Also is the root stock prone to suckering?

    Flavor Grenade will have a hard time ripening outside of a greenhouse in Western WA. It does fine in Eastern WA. Beauty is an acceptable pollenizer, and Santa Rosa is best. The rootstock should not sucker if the graft is growing well and the plant is not under stress.

Best tasting fruit!

I bought the tree in 2018. It’s doing great in zone 5. I bought a dapple dandy too at the same time and in 2020 it suddenly dried up and died in summer. The flavor grenade has plenty flowers and is very showy in spring. I have had tree covered in flowers from 2021. Last year I had couple of fruits but they had plum curculio and squirrels took one. This year there were lots of fruits early on but most dropped because of plum curculio I think. I bagged 10 or so with organza bags at the right time and they are the only ones which ripened out of 200 or so flowers. I ate 1 in mid August and it was ok felt a bit raw. I ate few in early Sep and they were good and crunchy and sweet. I ate my last one on Sep 20. It was almost red all around with blushes of green and came off with a gentle tug. That was the most spectacular fruit I have ever eaten. So sweet and juicy and crunchy!

The bare root Flavor Grenade arrived looking great

The bare root Flavor Grenade arrived as a sturdy young tree, well branched and in excellent shape. I do the "Grow a Tiny Fruit Tree" method so I felt a bit bad cutting the top growth back by nearly 1/2 to do this, but the buds are swelling and it looks just fine. Looking forward to growing the closet thing to an apricot that this central Oregon location can support.

Flavor Grenade Pluot

A longer wait than usual. Planted the day it arrived about 10 days ago. It has yet to start leafing out but my fingers are crossed

Tree was okay ish...

The tree I received was fairly small diameter with almost no branching. The tree was dormant and probably shipped way late in the season for my area. I would loved to have received it mid March but it wasn't shipped until mid May. Roots were ok, far from amazing but not horrible. We have been watering it but it has yet to bud out. My other fruit trees had 6 inches of new growth before this one even arrived. I am hopeful it survives but still a little disappointed.
