Bill, Flavor Grenade is a very late ripening pluot. I'm not sure when  
it will ripen in your climate but its in the Sept-Oct range.  So I  
think you just need to wait on it.

I have heard that Flavor Grenade is the one pluot which actually sets  
a crop of fruit outside the west coast and it sounds like you are also  
having luck on that front.  I have been getting almost no fruits on my  
Flavor Supreme and Flavor King and plan to try Flavor Grenade as my  
last attempt at pluots.  It will also be nice to have a plum so far  
out of the normal plum season.  I have similarly enjoyed Spring Satin  
which gives me plums in late June, about a month early.  (Note I am  
calling these plums because thats what they taste like, no apricot  
flavor in them to me.)
