Description
| Santa Rosa plums are a medium to large varietal, averaging 4 to 8 centimeters in diameter, and have a round to oval shape with a prominent suture line extending from the stem to the base. The plum’s skin is thin, delicate, taut, and smooth with a glossy, dark red to purple base, covered in white speckles and an opaque purple bloom. Underneath the surface, the flesh showcases a yellow-orange center surrounding the pit and darkens into a red-orange hue just underneath the skin. The flesh also features a slightly firm but tender, succulent, and aqueous consistency, clinging tightly to the central pit. Santa Rosa plums are delicate and easily damaged when ripe and have low acidity mixed with moderate sugar levels. The plums are known for their fruity, sugary-sweet flesh balanced with a hint of tartness, a flavor found within the skin. In addition to the fruits, Santa Rosa plum trees produce small white-pink blossoms in the spring and are often favored as an ornamental addition to home gardens.(INFORMATION CREDIT: https://specialtyproduce.com/produce/Santa_Rosa_Plums_9877.php |
