Plum Weeping Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa Weeping Plum
Weeping Santa Rosa Plum combines hanging branches with richly flavored, red fruit. White flowers decorate the tree early in the growing season.
Its graceful outline makes it an ornamental focal point as well as a fruit tree. Crops are generally modest, and the plums ripen later than those of standard Santa Rosa.
Use full sun and a warm site with a long summer. This self-fertile selection needs about 200–400 chill hours.
