Stone fruits—apricots, cherries,

plums, peaches and nectarines—

are in the Prunus genus of

fruits—and it’s a big family.

Besides multiple varieties of

the basics like red plums or

white peaches, there are lots of

hybrids. Some, like plumcots (a

50/50 apricot-and-plum mix)

occur naturally where both are

grown, while others like apriums

(a more apricot-dominant

hybrid) are hand-pollinated.
