Plum Satsuma

Plum Satsuma Details

Plum Satsuma produces mid-sized, dark red skinned fruit with red flesh that is sweet and juicy. White blossoms adorn the tree in spring and give rise to the fruit in summer. This variety requires another plum variety (e.g., Santa Rosa) planted nearby to aid pollination for fruit production. This deciduous tree grows with an upright habit 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. The Satsuma plum tree is commonly planted for fruit production and makes for a lovely specimen.
