Plum Satsuma Semidwarf

Satsuma Semidwarf Plum

Satsuma Plum bears fruit with maroon coloring over green skin and dense, dark red flesh. The flavor is sweet and mild, with relatively little tartness.

The fruit is especially useful for jam and other preserves. Its approximately 300-hour chilling requirement makes it a candidate for areas with comparatively mild winters.

Include a compatible pollen partner, such as Santa Rosa or Beauty, to support fruit production. The exact summer harvest period varies with location.
