The juicy Laroda plum has received high overall scores in Dave Wilson Nursery tastings for its sweet, excellent flavor. A dark purple plum similar to Santa Rosa, Laroda is larger and ripens about a month later. The long Laroda harvest begins in mid-July and extends to mid-August. The tree is vigorous and upright. This mid-season bloomer requires a pollenizer such as Santa Rosa or Catalina. Estimated chilling requirement 400 hours.
