greengage ‘Cambridge Gage’ (Cambridge gage) £39.99
Position: full sun Soil: will tolerate most soils, except very chalky or badly drained Rate of growth: slow growing Ultimate size on Pixie rootstock: 3 x 3m (10x10ft) Flowering period: May Flower colour: white Other features: a juicy culinary or desert gage (early September) Hardiness: fully hardy Reliable, heavy cropping gage that is similar to the old ‘Greengage’ variety. Single, cup-shaped white flowers appear in late spring, followed by yellow- green fruit with a superb, juicy flavour, which are ready for picking in early September. A good, vigorous grower that does set some fruit without a pollinator, though planting a late flowering plum, such as ‘Marjorie’s Seedling’ will increase cropping. The plants we sell in a 10lt pot are grafted onto St Julian rootstock and will produce a bush with an eventual height of around 6m. They are currently 1.2 – 1.5m tall and are approximately 2 years old. Greengages will generally start to produce fruit when they are 3 – 4 years old, so you may need to wait a year or two before you enjoy the harvest. Garden care: When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker.
