Green Gage Plum Tree
Description
Distinctive flavor! This old world plum variety has become a favorite again for its excellent eating quality and culinary versatility. The tree is a compact grower with attractive blossoms and deep green foliage. The yellow-green fruit has a rich plum-honey flavor. Great for canning, desserts and preserves, but you might not be able to resist eating them right off the tree. Freestone. Introduced to America from England in the late 1700s. Ripens in early August. Self-pollinating.
