Planting & Care

Savour the delightful, high-quality taste of this renowned English green gage, a seedling of the famous Old Green Gage.
Perfect for eating fresh from the tree or for cooking and jam-making.
A dependable and heavy cropper, providing steady yields year after year.
Harvest your sweet, juicy gages in the late season, typically September.
Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit and recognised as a Plant for Pollinators.
Arrives expertly pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape and robust growth.

Latin Name: Prunus domestica 'Cambridge Gage'
Species: Plum
Habit: Bushy
Flowering Time: May
Harvest Time: September
Tasting Notes: Sweet classic gage
Uses: Eating, cooking
Fertility: Partially self fertile. For the heaviest crops, it is best grown with another suitable pollinating variety nearby.
Eventual Height & Spread: 5m x 4m
Hardiness: Hardy. May require some protection from very late frosts as this can damage the flowers and reduce the fruit yield for that year.
Pest & Disease: Good resistance. Shows some resistance to the main pests and diseases for plums. Reduce the risk of bacterial canker by pruning to improve airflow. Protect ripening fruit from birds.

Planting Time: September to March
Position: Full sun
Soil: Prefers well-drained loamy soils. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but may not fruit well and will struggle in poorly draining soil.
Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to ensure your Plum tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.
