Santa Rosa Plum Tree — Complete Care Instructions

Sunlight:
Requires full sun (6+ hours daily) for strong fruiting and disease resistance.
Tolerates partial shade but yields significantly less fruit.

Soil & Planting:
Prefers well-drained, fertile loam with good organic matter.
Ideal pH: 6.0–7.5.
Plant bare-root trees in late winter; space 18–22 ft for standard trees or 10–12 ft for semi-dwarf.

Watering:
Water deeply every 7–10 days during the growing season.
Needs 1–2 inches of water per week, especially during fruit development.
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to avoid root rot.

Fertilizing:
Apply a balanced fruit-tree fertilizer in early spring before bloom.
Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers (they cause leafy growth instead of fruit).
