Prunus domestica Opal / Plum Tree

Description

Plum ‘Opal’ is one of the most reliable garden varieties, and is suitable for growing throughout the country. Slightly earlier to crop than ‘Victoria’, this dessert plum produces a heavy crop of excellent quality, small, yellow skinned fruits with an attractive red flush in July and August. The golden flesh easily separates from its stone and has a delicious gage flavour.

This variety is partially self-fertile. For the heaviest crops it is best grown with another or a similar variety.
