depends on the weather and variety of plum and apricot. mostly they need a rather cold winter requiring 300-600 cold hours to wake up properly, a mature tree will need about 10-12 liters of water per day (you can give it 30 liters every 3 days) and a sunny spring. you will get better flavour when there is a big temp difference between night and day during fruit growth in spring.
I do not think so!
check your temperature zone where i live its a zone 5 so when i bought my fruit trees i looked for a variety that will survive in zone 5. most nursery's have that info
An apricot plum hybrid fruit, also known as a pluot, has a unique combination of characteristics and flavors. It typically has a sweet and juicy taste with a hint of tartness, and a smooth texture. The fruit is a cross between an apricot and a plum, resulting in a flavor profile that is a blend of both fruits, making it a delicious and distinctive option for those looking for something different.
No, peach trees cannot be cross-pollinated with plum trees. They belong to different species (Prunus persica for peach and Prunus domestica for plum) and are not compatible for cross-pollination. To produce fruit, both peach and plum trees require pollen from the same species or a compatible cultivar within the same species.
Prunus Mume the Japanese Apricot is not evergreen.
The potential benefits of cultivating a plum and apricot hybrid fruit include a unique flavor profile, increased disease resistance, and potentially higher yields. However, challenges may include the difficulty in achieving a successful hybridization, potential issues with fruit quality and market acceptance, and the need for specialized growing conditions.
Plum trees can be prone to certain diseases such as plum pox virus, brown rot, and powdery mildew. Proper care and regular inspections can help prevent and manage these diseases to keep plum trees healthy.

Plum trees can grow up to 20-25 feet tall and wide. Factors that can influence their size include the variety of plum tree, soil quality, amount of sunlight, water availability, and pruning practices.
Palmdale is in the desert so unless there is vast amounts of water it is hard to grow fruit trees. Years ago they had a lot of date palms and it has been awhile since I was that far south. If more trees have gone in they can grow oranges, peaches, cherry, and most of the fruit grown through out the state. My area of CA is just as hot and we grow it all.
Fruit trees that can tolerate alkaline soil include apple, pear, cherry, apricot, plum, and peach trees. These trees are generally more adaptable to different soil pH levels compared to other fruit trees. It is important to monitor soil pH and provide proper nutrients to ensure the health and productivity of the trees.
About 20 feet? That is 6 meters
