A recent introduction that produces early, very high quality plums for dessert, Ready for picking in July, the fruits are red-purple with a fine, juicy flesh and a flavour that is very outstanding. An easy to manage tree that is reliable and one of the heaviest croppers of all. Opal is an excellent new variety that we highly recommend. Large fruits, heavy cropping and the finest flavour of all the early varieties. Pollinate with any of the following: Victoria, Czar, Kirkes Blue, Edwards, Cambridge Gage etc.







We have in place very rigorous standards for the health,
providence and uniformity of all our fruiting plants & trees. Our Nursery and the stock we grow is
inspected and passported for health regularly by DEFRA experts [formerly the Ministry of Agriculture]
and we have in place our own stringent controls and inspection programmes to ensure our fruiting
bushes and trees are the best, most disease free stocks available and truly beyond compare.
We always propagate from certified stock where this exists and have the highest standards regarding providence
and grading. If only the very best will do – as it should – then you can rely on a Chris Bowers fruiting
plant to give the most exemplary results available. We firmly believe that only the very healthiest
stock can and does produce vastly superior results – and it shows.
