Planting & Care

Savour the delightful, high-quality taste of this renowned English green gage.
Incredibly versatile – perfect for eating fresh from the tree or for cooking and jam-making.
A reliable and heavy cropper, providing you with steady yields year after year.
Enjoy a late-season harvest of sweet, juicy gages, typically ready in September.
A celebrated heritage variety, originating from the Cambridge region in the early 20th century.
Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit and recognised as a 'Plant for Pollinators'.

Latin Name: Prunus domestica 'Cambridge Gage'
Species: Plum
Flavour: Sweet classic gage
Use: Eating, cooking
Flowering Time: May
Harvest Time: September
Position: Full sun
Soil: Prefers well-drained loamy soils. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but may struggle in poorly draining soil.
Hardiness: Hardy. May require some protection from very late frosts which can damage flowers and reduce the fruit yield for that year.
Habit: Bushy
Pollination: Partially self-fertile. For the heaviest crops, it is best grown with another variety. If you only have room for one tree, ensure a neighbour has a suitable pollinator nearby.
Eventual Spread: 4m

Planting Time: January, February, March, September, October, November, December
Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yields, and prevent disease. Our trees are expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a well-shaped, robust, and bushy tree.
Pest & Disease: Good pest and disease resistance. Shows some resistance to main plum pests and diseases. Watch for aphids and caterpillars, which can be washed off with soapy water. Protect fruit from birds with netting. Reduce bacterial canker risk by improving airflow through pruning and removing rotting matter nearby.
