Santa Rosa plum
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? -- //ceed |

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! -- //ceed |

This is the very first site I came across when searching on Santa Rosa Plum: http://www.greenwoodnursery.com/page.cfm/5780 From this site: http://www.davewilson.com/br10/br10Plum.html Santa Rosa sized 50 to 90; purple over yellow coloring; excellent acidic flavor; harvest the 2nd to 3rd week of June; sets the standard for flavor in plums; early to mid-season bloom; vigorous, spreading tree; self-fruitful; 300 hour estimated chilling requirement. |

Thank you! I got both mine from The Home Depot. They had one left last year, and the other one was a loner this spring. They are really nice looking trees with a lot of fruit set this spring. I can't wait to see how they come out (unless hail and/or wind prevents it from happening). -- //ceed |
