Santa Rosa Plum Tree 4ft Live Fruit Tree Ready to Plant

The Santa Rosa Plum Tree is a classic Japanese plum variety prized for its large, flavorful fruit and beautiful spring blossoms. This live fruit tree arrives at approximately 4 feet tall and is ready to plant, making it a great choice for home orchards and edible landscapes. Santa Rosa plums are known for their sweet-tart flavor and juicy texture, perfect for fresh eating, baking, and preserves.

With its attractive foliage and fragrant white flowers in spring, the Santa Rosa Plum Tree adds ornamental value to any garden. It is partially self-fertile but produces better yields when planted with another plum variety for cross-pollination. This tree is well-suited to a range of climates and is a reliable producer when given proper care.

Planting & Care

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place the tree in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk. Water regularly during the first year to help establish a strong root system. Prune in late winter to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fruit tree fertilizer.

Santa Rosa plum trees benefit from cross-pollination by another Japanese plum variety for increased fruit set. Monitor for common pests and diseases, and maintain good air circulation through proper pruning.
