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 early December and late March when dormant.
You are welcome to advance order trees now (fruit bushes can be ordered from August). Payment will be taken when you place your order. We will then be in contact from early December to arrange delivery or collection.
