Prunus domestica 'Santa Rosa'
Prunus domestica ‘Santa Rosa’, known as the 'Santa Rosa' plum, is a popular hybrid variety recognized for its generous production of large purplish-red plums with juicy, sweet, and slightly tart yellow flesh. Highly ornamental thanks to its abundant white blossoms in spring, it attracts pollinating insects while adding visual interest to the garden. Its rounded, open habit is well-suited to residential orchards and fruit plantations in Quebec, in well-exposed areas. ‘Santa Rosa’ is self-sterile, requiring the proximity of another variety to bear fruit well. It grows best in well-drained, fertile soil, and benefits from full sun exposure to develop the full richness of its fruits. Both aesthetic, productive, and flavorful, the 'Santa Rosa' plum seduces with its culinary versatility and vigor, well-suited to protected northern gardens.
