Description
A dwarf form of the classic Japanese plum, producing large, rounded fruit with deep crimson-red skin and sweet, juicy amber flesh flushed with red near the stone. Renowned for its outstanding flavour, reliable heavy crops and excellent eating quality, Dwarf Santa Rosa is one of the finest all-round plums for home gardens.
Pollination: Partially self-fertile. For heavier and more reliable crops, plant with Mariposa, Satsuma, Elephant Heart or another compatible Japanese plum flowering at the same time.
Harvest: February
Best Uses: Fresh eating, fruit platters, jams, desserts, baking and preserving.
Position: Full sun in well-drained soil.
Why We Love It: Dwarf Santa Rosa produces generous crops of beautifully coloured plums with succulent, aromatic flesh and an irresistible balance of sweetness and tangy flavour. Tasmania's warm summer days and cool nights help develop exceptional colour, richness and eating quality. Its compact size makes pruning, netting and harvesting much easier, making it the perfect choice for smaller gardens while still delivering full-sized, premium-quality fruit year after year.
