One of the most popular Japanese plums, 'Santa Rosa' is prized for its large, round fruit with reddish-purple skin and sweet, juicy amber flesh. Fragrant white blossoms appear in spring, followed by a heavy crop in mid to late summer. Excellent for fresh eating and also versatile for preserving. A reliable and vigorous tree that performs well in home orchards.
