Plant description

A greengage fruit tree known for its beautiful white spring blossoms, giving way to round, greening yellow fruit with a delicate bloom. These fruits ripen from mid to late summer, renowned for their exceptional sweetness and resistance to cracking. 'Lindsey Gage' is partially self-fertile, and crop yield can be variable without a pollinating partner, but compensates with its exquisite clusters of white spring flowers, adding to its ornamental appeal.

Pollination information: Although partially self-fertile, yields will be increased if paired with a pollinating partner from another variety of plum or gage nearby. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 3, however it is possible to use one from group 2 or 4 as well.

How to care for gage (Reine-Claude Group) 'Lindsey Gage':

When planting your gage, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole. Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up. Protect from cold, drying winds. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support growth and fruiting. Lightly prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker, to retain an open ‘goblet’ shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.

Please note:

This plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
