Prunus domestica 'Cambridge Gage'

One of the most popular greengages, very similar to the old fashioned greengage but more reliable. The fruits are green with juicy yellow flesh and an excellent rich flavour. Good as a dessert gage and for jam making. A reliable cropper.

Bred in the U.K.  RHS Award of Garden Merit  RHS Perfect for Pollinators

Pollination: Self-fertile. Group C.

Season: mid Aug.

Tree Form: Cordon.

Plums, gages and damsons are a wonderful choice of tree to grow in the garden as in favourable conditions they will crop reliably, producing masses of fruit year after year. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot. 

 

The modern way to grow fruit trees is to train them as vertical cordons. These space-saving columnar trees are attractive as well as fruitful and are perfect for smaller gardens. Cordon plum trees can be spaced as close as 90cm (3ft) apart and are also ideal planted in containers on a sunny patio or balcony. Cordons should have their ultimate height restricted to 1.8-2.4m (6-8ft) and their fruiting laterals pruned during the summer months in order to retain their compact columnar shape. 

 

Our cordon plum, gage and damson trees are grafted onto St Julien 'A' rootstock, which will produce a tree of medium vigour that is easy to grow, easy to control and easy to pick. Trees can be grown as vertical cordons (just use a stake to support them) or oblique cordons (against a wall or fence). They are also perfect for container growing.

 
Bare root trees are only available when they are fully dormant (usually from late November/December until late April). Where we quote a height on despatch, this includes the root system.
 

Don't forget to include tree stakes and ties on your order.  All young fruit trees require staking and for better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).
