Hi,

Last year I bought a Santa Rosa plum tree at the Home Depot. It came
back nicely this spring with a lot of flowers. Then a couple of weeks
back I read somewhere that you need at least two of these trees to get
fruit. I went and purchased another one and planted it about 35 ft.
away from the first one. Is that close enough to get proper
pollination? Also, does anyone here have experience with this plum
here in the Austin area?


Santa Rosa Plum is a self-pollinator.


Really? Then both the site on the net I read about this and the guy
at the Home Depot was wrong. So yet again I learn to triple check!
Thanks!
