Looking for an Opal plum tree to pair with my Victoria….

Looking for a potted 6ft plus Opal plum tree to pair with my newly planted Victoria plum tree. The Opal tree should be mature enough to flower next year (2-3 years old plus I guess?). Any recommendations for a reliable online supplier?

 

I've bought both Opal and Victoria very cheap from B&M - you have to check they are ok, because stores often don't water enough. In their pots they are 6' and looking good now. I'm sure I'll get something from them next year.
Online might be pricey because of size.

 

Don’t be in a hurry to get them to flower and, especially, to fruit. Plum trees can live for a hundred years or more. Allowing them to produce fruit (i.e. offspring) in their early years is like letting a child have children. Biologically possible maybe but not in the child’s best interests longterm. Allow your trees a couple of years to be “children” by removing any flowers that set and they will grow more strongly and thank you in the long run.

 

Not being a fruit grower I have no personal experience, but I mentioned your query to a neighbour who does.
He uses these people,
'Opal' Plum Tree

No complaints so far from him. I have also looked them up on Trustpilot, and they have good reviews.

 

Thanks you to everyone who responded. Your advice to a beginner like myself is invaluable - cheers
