Gage Tree - Green Gage

The Green Gage tree is an irregular cropper, but its gages are delicious eaten straight off the tree. An ancient variety, thought to have arrived in Britain in 1724, when it was imported from Paris by a young Catholic priest, John Gage. It is thought to be the French variety 'Reine Claude', but it lost its label in transit and the gardener at Hengrave Hall, the Gages' fabulous Tudor pile in Suffolk, renamed it after his employers. Like their close and botanically indistinguishable relations, plums, gages have lovely blossom which attracts a range of pollinators in spring, including bees, although they can be self fertile.

Supplied as one-two year old maiden plants, on SJA rootstock, which will give you a mature tree of around 3.5m.

Supplier : R.V. Roger Ltd.

All our gage trees, including Green Gage, are bare root, so they are only available between November and April. During lifting season, there will be a delay between placing the order and dispatching due to pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence, and the weather. Orders taken from June-October will be confirmed in late October/ early November after a nursery stock take, for dispatch from November. Please consult our planting and care guide on receipt of your order.

Your purchase helps us support a range of charities, which are related to the products we sell.
