Plum Opal Is One Of The Best Flavoured Early Plums, It Is Sometimes Considered A Gage-like Plum Due To Its Excellent Flavour.the Flavour Depends Mainly On The Development Of Sugar During The Short Growing Period, In The Uk Opal Benefits Greatly From Being Grown Against A South-facing Wall Or In A Sunny Area.if You Don’t Have A Location Which Is Similar To These It Will Still Give Excellent Crops But The Taste Of The Plum Won’t Be Quite As Intense.the Fruit Is Medium-sized, A Dusky Red Colour With Heavy Bloom Which Becomes A Brilliant Blue When It Is Ripe. The Plums Will Ripen Over A Period Of About 2 Weeks.the Flesh Of The Fruit Is Straw-yellow & Is Very Juicy. Plum Opal Is A Semi-freestone Type, So The Stone Falls Away Easily From The Flesh.
