Prunus d. ‘Opal’

Are you searching for a reliable source of homegrown sweet fruit that also offers beautiful seasonal interest for your garden? Meet the Prunus domestica ‘Opal’, a fantastic variety celebrated for its abundant crops of juicy, sweet plums that ripen reliably during the peak of summer.

This fruiting tree provides a delightful progression of colour, starting with masses of scented white blossom in April, transitioning to summer fruit displaying shades of red and purple before offering attractive yellow foliage as autumn approaches; its growth habit forms a bushy, rounded crown perfect for contained spaces.

For the best results in the UK, ensure this specimen receives full sun in a sheltered position, performing excellently in the moisture-retentive, fertile soils often found in our loam or clay gardens, making it ideal for cottage gardens or as a specimen tree.
