I've got a pluot that holds extremely well on the tree, but that's most of 
what I can say about it.  It's productive, but not very exciting in flavor.  
It has been hanging at least a month past ripe and it's still sound.   It's 
not a named variety, though.  It was grown from seed of Luther Burbank's 
"Apex" plumcot.

My reply:

So out of curiosity, given your proclivity for doing selfless acts, why did 
you not cross it with a tastier variety in the hope of passing on this useful 
trait in a more tasty form?
