Product information

    Plum 'Opal' Patio Tree is a compact and manageable plum tree specifically trained into a patio tree form. It produces medium-sized fruits with a deep purple skin and sweet, juicy flesh. The patio tree form makes it suitable for small gardens, patios, or container gardening. 'Opal' Patio Tree thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. It typically produces ripe plums ready for harvest in mid to late summer.

    • Choose a location with full sun and well-drained, fertile soil for planting the 'Opal' Patio Tree. Dig a hole that is wider and slightly shallower than the root ball. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with or slightly above the soil surface. Backfill with soil, gently firming it around the roots. Water thoroughly after planting and provide regular watering during dry spells.
    • After planting the 'Opal' Patio Tree, water it deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree, but keep it a few inches away from the trunk. Mulching helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Thin out the tree as needed to improve airflow and promote healthy fruit production. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for fruit trees.
