The Santa Rosa Plum was bred in 1906 by the plant breeder extraordinaire Luther Burbank. It is his most famous plum, measuring 2'-3' in diameter. This purple-skinned beauty has a super delicious, tender, juicy sweet amber flesh that is perfectly complimented with a thin slightly tart skin. It is a consistent bearer of hardy fruit that you will look forward to eating year after year.

This grandmother tree was found growing healthy and beautiful just off a main highway in Auburn, Ca. It seems fairly disease resistant. Auburn was one of the first foothill mining camps, and even after the miners moved on to more interesting gold fields, Auburn became a bustling town along the Gold Rush Trail. Its location, close to Sacramento and the corridor to Lake Tahoe made it a popular place to stay. There are many historic fruit and nut orchards in the Auburn and surrounding areas.
