Why We Love It: Satsuma is famous for its beautiful ruby-red flesh, which is as striking as it is delicious. The fruit is bursting with sweet, juicy flavour and develops exceptional colour and richness in Tasmania's warm summer days and cool nights. Reliable, productive and full of character, Satsuma is a standout plum for home orchards, producing generous crops of premium-quality fruit that's perfect for enjoying straight from the tree or transforming into vibrant jams and desserts.
