Product Description
Opal Plum Tree 4-5ft Tall, Self-Fertile, Tasty & Sweet, Ready to Fruit
These are BARE ROOTED plants which can be planted from the end of October until April and will be dispatched as soon as the weather turns cold and they become dormant.The dispatch date depends on the Autumn temperature and varies from year to year.
Opal plums are deliciously sweet, bite-sized dessert plums with a great colour range, from sunshine yellow to deep purple.
Opal Plums are early cropping plum trees and in a good year you can look forward to the first fruit being ready at the end of July. Because they are so early, Opal plums mature quite fast.They are self-fertile.Opal Plum is quite happy to bear a heavy crop all by itself. It is also reassuringly regular in the size of harvest each year.
These trees will grow to 10-12ft max.
As with all trees from the prunus family, the leaves will start to appear autumnal and slightly shabby from mid June on wards. This is not a disease, but is mainly due to this years contrasting weather conditions and will not affect the performance of the tree.
