Plum 'Santa Rosa'

Plum 'Santa Rosa' Details

“Santa Rosa” is a popular variety of plum that produces mid-sized, red-purple fruit with yellow-pink flesh that is sweet, juicy, and highly aromatic. White blossoms adorn the tree in spring and give rise to the fruit in summer. This variety will benefit from having an another plum variety planted nearby to aid pollination such as “Black Doris” or “Omega”. This deciduous tree grows with a vase shape to about 5 m tall and 3 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of cool climates and frost, though a late frost can reduce yields. “Santa Rosa” is commonly planted for fruit production and makes for a lovely specimen or inclusion into a mixed planting.
