The Prunus domestica Opal is one of the most well-known types of plum. The tree is self-pollinating, which means you don’t need a second fruit tree to grow fruit. The plums have a true taste explosion and a thin skin. They are perfect to eat right from the tree, but they can also be used in jams and juices. The delicious plums can be harvested in July/August. After the harvest the plums have a shelf life of about three weeks. In April/May the tree has beautiful, slightly fragrant white flowers.

Care
Prunus domestica Opal is not difficult to care for. The tree likes to stand in a spot in the sun or semi shade in a nutritious, calcareous soil that is not too wet. The more sun the tree gets, the better the fruit will grow. The plum tree likes to receive some nutrition in the spring, as an extra boost for the summer. The plum tree can be pruned after harvest.

Size
The plant has a height of 90-100cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 21cm.
