A selection of Gage trees are offered for sale. Though they are the sweetest of the plums they are a distinct group.  Most Gages ripen during August. When ripe they are often green, hence the name Greengage, but can be different colours. The different Gage trees for sale are detailed below.

All Gages are available bare rooted as ‘maidens’ on moderate vigour St Julien A and some on Pixy rootstock.
