They can also provide the equipment necessary for offloading the tree upon delivery. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor has equipment ready upon your trees arrival! OR check the box below for ServeScape to provide offloading equipment for an additional fee.

Santa Rosa Plum is a fast-growing deciduous tree primarily grown for its fruit but has a nice fall display.  A showy display of white spring flowers attract butterflies and give way to the dark crimson summer fruits with golden flesh.  The abundant plums are sweet with a firm texture that makes them suitable for canning.  Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.  Santa Rosa is a self pollinator that produces heavy and early, but sets fruit better with another cultivar.  Heat resistant, but susceptible to leaf scald and other diseases.
