Description
- A classic English green gage with a sweet, high quality flavour
- Equally good for eating or cooking
- A very reliable cropper with consistent harvests from year to year
- Late season harvest – pick in September
- Thought to be a seedling of Old Green Gage, grown by Chivers the jam manufacturers in the early 20th century in the Cambridge area. Probably discovered between 1850-1890
- Winner of both the RHS Award of Garden Merit and RHS Plants for Pollinators
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
