Thuja Gardens - Santa Rosa is the most popluar plum in the U.S.
The most popular plum in America today is the Santa
Rosa plum. It accounts for nearly 1/3 of the total
plum crop.
Santa Rosa plums remain an old-time favorite with sweet, juicy red flesh
perfect for eating off the tree or for canning and baking. The trees put
forth beautiful fragrant blooms, adding to the garden's beauty in early
spring. In late fall, the large fruits are ready for harvesting, making all the
work of growing Santa Rosa plums well worth the effort.
History
The history of plums dates back to the Roman Empire when more than
300 varieties were grown. Modern cultivars from these early plum trees
are called European plums. The other type of plum, the Japanese plum,
originated in China before being brought to Japan in the 1600s. The
plums became very popular in Japan, where they became an important
part of the culture. In the late 1800s, Japanese plums were introduced
in the United States, with the Santa Rosa plum cultivar becoming a big
favorite.
USES
Nothing beats the fresh, juicy taste of a Santa Rosa plum plucked and
eaten right off tree. These plums also work well when made into jams,
jellies and preserves, as well as puddings and sauces. The plums also
work well in desserts such as crisps, crumbles and other baked goods.
