Plum Satsuma Dwarf – Japanese Plum – Freshly Potted*
An upright deciduous fruiting tree that requires pollination for fruit development. Plum Santa Rosa produces long stems with elliptic deep green leaves, which change colour in autumn. It will require annual pruning once the foliage has dropped in winter. This will encourage a stronger branching framework, airflow through the canopy and better fruit quality. Plum Satsuma has medium-sized oval fruit with a dark red, firm skin. The flesh is a blood-red, very juicy and sweet flavour. Ideal for eating fresh, cooking, drying, jams or preserving. It grows best in humus-rich soil, which is well-draining.
