- Produces yellow-skinned plums with red flush
- Thrives in full sun
- Self-fertile with reliable heavy yields
Plum 'Opal' Espalier is the perfect option for gardens with limited space, offering a compact form that thrives in an espalier setup. This self-fertile variety produces an abundance of small, yellow-skinned plums with a vibrant red flush, slightly earlier to crop than the classic ‘Victoria’. The fruit is sweet and juicy, with golden flesh that separates easily from the stone and a classic gage flavour ideal for fresh eating. Perfect for small or trained spaces like walls or trellises, the 'Opal' Espalier is an excellent choice for both city gardens and patios. With its self-fertile nature, it doesn’t require a second plum tree for pollination, making it hassle-free and perfect for beginner gardeners. Expect excellent yields in just two years after planting, and enjoy the harvest in July and August. How to Grow Light: Plant in full sun for optimal fruit production. Temperature: Hardy and suitable for most UK climates. Watering: Water regularly, especially in dry spells. Feeding: Fertilise in early spring to support healthy growth. Humidity: Tolerates moderate humidity levels. Included Varieties: Plum 'Opal' Espalier: Small yellow plums with red flush, gage flavour, perfect for wall or trellis training.
