A.U. Rosa is a top rated Japanese plum variety known for its flavor, production, and disease resistance. Its large, high quality fruits are freestone, meaning the flesh easily separates from the pit. The fruits have red or yellow skin with yellow flesh, and are an early maturing cultivar. A.U. Rosa plums are typically eaten fresh, but they can also be used for making pies, jams, and other preserves. The tree is moderately vigorous and grows to a height of 15-20 feet. It is a vigorous grower, hardy in USDA zones 5-9, well anchored, and tolerant of a high water table. Get a strong and early jump on plum season with the A.U. Rosa!

Pollination:
A.U. Rosa is a self-pollinating plum tree, meaning it does not need another plum tree of a different variety to produce fruit. However, cross-pollination can improve fruit set and size. If you would like to increase your chances of a bountiful harvest, you can plant another plum tree of a different variety nearby. See our Pollination page for more information on cross-pollination varieties and requirements!
