The Santa Rosa plum is a popular, self-fertile Japanese variety known for its large, aromatic, crimson-red fruit with tart, amber flesh. It has a classic, sweet-tart taste and is ideal for fresh eating, preserves, and baking. These trees are fast-growing, reaching 18–25 feet, and thrive in USDA zones 5–9 with full sun and low-to-moderate chill hours.
