Gages
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.
Discount information: 5% on 5+ trees, 10% on 10+ trees. Delivery cost: based on quantity ordered. See the How to Order page for more details.
Gage trees are dispatched between late November and late March when dormant.
You are welcome to order now. We will acknowledge your order and email you an Order Confirmation when we take payment in October or November, before being in contact to arrange delivery or collection through the dormant season. Orders placed well in advance will generally be supplied late November or December.
