Answer
The Plumcot is a fruit creation that was mistakenly believed to be a hybrid. It was created by Frank N. Meyer, a horticulturist who worked for the United States Department of Agriculture. Meyer created the Plumcot by crossbreeding a plum with an apricot. The resulting fruit was a cross between the two fruits, but it was not a true hybrid.
