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.

No Gages can be ordered at present. We will update availability by late May when we are sure what varieties are growing well.
