Plum Santa Rosa

$50.00

The Santa Rosa plum (Prunus salicina ‘Santa Rosa’) is a popular Japanese plum known for its large, sweet, and juicy fruit with a distinctive red skin and yellow-tinged pink flesh. It’s a versatile plum, excellent for fresh eating, cooking, and canning. While self-fertile, it benefits from cross-pollination with other Japanese plum varieties.
