The EZ Pick Santa Rosa Plum is a delicious purple skinned plum with sweet yellow skin. How wonderful to be able to reach right up and pick a plum from your own backyard!

Have world famous, sweet Santa Rosa plums just outside your door! The most popular plum tree for commercial use and home growing.

These trees produce an abundant harvest of sweetly flavored, dark purple fruit each year. Adaptable to most soil types and are self-fertile… cross pollination is not necessary, but will increase fruit production when a second plum tree is planted nearby.

The Santa Rosa tree takes up very little space, yet produces bushels of fruit.

Santa Rosa plums appear in mid-June and ripen in mid-August. Delicious when eaten fresh… perfect for drying and baking as well.

Your tree has been continuously pruned to encourage more branching. More branching means more fruit, earlier production and a healthier tree. This process takes us up to a year longer than our competitors, but you'll find that it makes a huge difference.

Prior to shipping, your trees receive a final pruning at no additional cost.

The plums that you purchase in the supermarket are sprayed with insecticides and fungicides that are difficult to wash off completely. This is especially true for plums imported from Central and South America.

But now, you can easily grow your own Santa Rosa plums without chemicals for tastier, healthier and fresher fruit.

Your Dwarf Santa Rosa Plum can be planted any time of year!

It's Easy to Plant your Dwarf Santa Rosa Plum
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Dwarf Santa Rosa Plum. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Dwarf Santa Rosa Plum gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Dwarf Santa Rosa Plum again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.
