Santa Rosa Plum has been available in Australia for many years and PlantNet® now makes it available as Dwarf Santa Rosa Plum. All plum varieties chosen in the dwarf range produce full size fruit and are sweet and crisp to eat. Please be advised we recommend dwarf trees are staked permanently due to trees producing high crop loads.

Santa Rosa Plum is another variety developed in California and commercialised in the 20th century. Now a household variety, this plum is extremely popular which can be attributed to its beautiful flavour!

Suitability
Not recommended for coastal Qld and northern NSW as winters are not cold enough to produce fruit.
