Juicy Red Plum Fruit with Extra Disease Resistance

You can’t go wrong with the AU Rosa Plum Tree!

The Au Rosa Red Plum Tree is perfect for planting in your yard or backyard orchard, producing delicious, bright red fruit that you can pick directly from the tree. In early spring, fragrant white flowers will explode on the tree’s branches to invite pollinators such as bees and butterflies into your landscape. The spring flowers eventually mature into baby plum fruits with a heavy crop load.

The Au Rosa Plum fruit is medium-sized, round in shape, and juicy with dark red skin and yellow flesh that melts like butter in your mouth. Fresh fruit ripens during summer from mid-June to early July. With high disease resistance and little issues with pests, it’s a no-brainer why you should plant this plum variety in your yard!

Being a deciduous tree, the green leaves will cover the limbs from spring through fall until falling down to the ground in winter. The University of Auburn developed this tree as an improved version of the Santa Rosa Plum Tree.
