Prunus salicina 'Santa Rosa'

 

Japanese Plum 'Santa Rosa'

Prunus Domestica - Plum Tree - is a deciduous fruiting tree that can be fan-trained (approx. 2m.x3m), bush-trained (approx, 4m. high) half-standard (up to 6m. high) or standard (up to 8m. high). Some varieties are self-fertile (ie do not need a pollinator) and some require a second variety tree as a pollinator. The white flowers appear in Spring, and the fruit, which have a single stone, ripen in late Summer.'Santa Rosa' bears white flowers in Spring that are followed by firm-fleshed deep red plums with good flavour.

Flowering

From Late Winter TO Mid Spring

Although plum trees are frost hardy, the flowers - essential for fruiting - are very susceptible to frost. If frost is threatened during the flowering period, protect the flowers with horticultural fleece.

 

Planting

From Late Autumn TO Mid Winter

Plant plum trees in the dormant season, in a sheltered position where the tree will get plenty of sunshine. Dig a large hole, and put a good amount of organic material in the bottom of the hole to help with drainage.
