Plum Tree. Variety 'Opal'.
The 'Opal' is a Swedish variety perfect for eating fresh, cooking with or making jam. It is a very vigorous variety of Plum Tree with an bushy crown, it is easy to grow and a reliable producer of a heavy crop of fruit. Masses of scented white blossom is produced in Springtime which has a good resistance to frost and is followed by the fruit ripening from late July into August. A cross between a plum and a gage the fruit are rounded small to medium in size with a light golden coloured skin flushed with red when fully ripe. The golden yellow flesh is smooth in texture, very sweet and packed with delicious juice. The stone also leaves the flesh easily, great if you are cooking with them and using a good amount at one time. The Variety 'Opal' is self fertile, so no other tree is needed to set the fruit. Grows very well in a sunny sheltered location, great for coastal locations and hardy throughout the UK.  Has gained the Award For Garden Merit from the RHS.
