The Prunus Salicina 'Santa Rosa' (Dwarf Plum Santa Rosa) is a compact, highly productive plum tree that delivers the same outstanding flavour as the full-size Santa Rosa in a smaller, easier-to-manage form. It produces medium to large red plums with amber flesh flushed with pink, offering a sweet, tangy taste that is excellent for fresh eating, jams, and desserts.
This dwarf variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it ideal for smaller gardens, courtyards, and pots. With its manageable size and heavy cropping habit, the Dwarf Plum Santa Rosa is perfect for home gardeners wanting abundant harvests without taking up much space.
