Gage ‘Old Greengage’ has more to it than its surface suggests, producing some of the most delicious plum fruits you will ever find. Rich and sweet to taste, the small sized fruits are juicy and best eaten fresh, from mid-August. Fruits are plain and green in colour, but pack a punch. High quality fruits from smaller crops than most fruit trees.
Growing Information
Plant plum trees in any well drained soil in a sheltered, sunny position. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole and drive the stake into the ground to support the tree. Staking after planting may result in damage to the root ball. Plant fruit trees at their original soil level and firm them into the ground. Fasten the tree to the stake using a tree tie, and water well.
