Info | Fire Opal is a medium sized sport of 'Gold Standard'. Apple green leaf with creamy margin in spring, center turns golden, like parent but a striking dark green area develops between the gold center and the white edge as the center approaches the quintessential parchment color of 'Gold Standard'. Vigorous growth habit, place in a good dose of morning sun for best color development. |
