Often called a blood plum, Satsuma produces medium sized plums with mottled red skin and striking crimson flesh that is juicy, aromatic, and pleasantly sweet with a touch of tartness. The colorful fruit is excellent for fresh eating straight from the tree and is also a favorite for jams, preserves, sauces, baking, canning, and homemade desserts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn spring, the tree produces a beautiful display of fragrant white blossoms that add seasonal beauty to the landscape while attracting bees and other pollinators. Fruit typically ripens in mid to late summer, providing a colorful and flavorful harvest during peak stone fruit season. Satsuma is not self fertile, so a compatible Japanese plum variety should be planted nearby to support reliable pollination and heavier fruit production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardy in USDA Zones 5-9, Satsuma Plum grows best in full sun with fertile, well drained soil.
