Opal dessert plums produce a medium size fruit, with a reddish-purple skin colour. The flesh is yellow and comes away from the stone easily. The flavour has a gage-like taste and is sweet. It is easy to manage, but the birds love the buds! It is self-fertile and in Pollination Group B. Opal is a good, heavy cropper, and generally has a good resistance to disease. The period of use is late July.
