Plum Santa Rosa – Japnese 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 Santa Rosa has medium-sized oval fruit with bright red skin, which turns purple-crimson once mature. The flesh is yellow with hints of pink/red with a mildly sweet flavour and clingstone seed. Ideal for eating fresh, cooking, drying or preserving. This is an ideal tree for smaller gardens, patios, apartments, food gardens or planted into a large pot. It grows best in humus-rich soil, which is well-draining.
