Santa Rosa Plum Tree, Five Gallon Container
Santa Rosa plum treats you to large, oval fruit with purplish red skin with blue bloom. The plums have firm flesh, yellow to dark red near skin with rich, pleasing, tart flavor. The Santa Rosa is self fertile, also pollinating other plum varieties. The Santa Rosa ripens mid June, needing about 400 hours chilling, so a good choice for moderately cold areas. Shipped potted in soil to ensure a healthier start when planted in yard or garden. Will begin shipping this tree again in January 2012. $10 Discount for Pre-Payment

Frequently Asked Questions
Something you gotta try, as suggested by one of my fruit tree suppliers, L.E. Cooke Company from Visalia California... “Plant 3 or 4 trees in the space of 1. Fruit trees are planted for the purpose of harvesting the reward of incredibly delicious tree ripened fruit. Why not extend this pleasure from 2-3 weeks to 10 to 12 weeks?” How is that done you ask? Read further…
The trees should be planted in a triangle (or box for 4) 24-30 inches apart and at a slight outward angle. The center limbs are pruned so that crossing limbs are removed. Otherwise, normal care is all that is necessary.
Pick a combination of varieties that are similar in growth habit and foliage texture. Varieties can be selected for mild winter areas, traditional fruit growing areas, mountains or deserts. Why not have fruit all summer long?
Apples….red, green and yellow, or early, mid and late season. Apricots...June, July and August ripening. Cherries...early June ripening, mid June ripening and a sweet pollinator. Plums...red meat, purple meat and yellow meat.... I think you get the picture. Just have fun!
