Greengage ‘Cambridge Gage’

A generous and reliable cropper that produces small, juicy fruit, which can be eaten straight from the plant, or used to make pies and preserves from late August. As the name suggests, this gage originated from Cambridge, and it is always one of the most sought after.

This bush has been grafted onto VVA-1 rootstock, which produces a plant that is similar in size to those grafted onto ‘Pixy’ rootstock. They also tend to produce a higher yeild of larger fruit on plants that show a better winter hardiness. Greengages will generally start to produce fruit when they are 3 – 4 years old, so you may need to wait a year or two before you enjoy the harvest.
