‘Opal’ Plum Tree

Description

• A very reliable, heavy cropping variety producing an abundance of red-flushed, plump yellow plums
• Some say the sweet, fruity flavour is superior to Victoria
• Delightful eaten fresh but their soft flesh also makes the best plum jams
• An early season variety, ready to harvest in July
• RHS Award Winner
• SJA Rootstock: Max size H4m x W4m – Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE
• Cordon Trained:Max size H2m x W1m Pruned and trained to create a cordon shape, so upright with short side branches. Very productive use of spaceMORE
• Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
• Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
• Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
