Plum, Gages & Damsons

Plum Trees, Gages and Damson Trees - Prunus domestica

These closely related fruit trees will pollinate each other when they are in flower at the same time, so we have grouped them together for convenience. Plums and Gages are mostly sweet and good to eat freshly picked, whereas Damsons, Prunus insititia, are delicious when cooked, especially mixed with other, sweeter fruits. Damsons also make excellent jam - it is certainly one of our favourites. Your plum trees do need a little special care and we have provided all the information you need to get a great harvest. You have a choice of four sizes of plum tree: a maiden can be trained into anything you like, a half standard will give you a headstart on a lovely big tree and if lack of space is a concern, a compact bush will still give you lots of fruit.

Pricing: We can offer you great deals because we only sell by mail order. There are discounts on orders starting when you buy 3 or more trees and our lowest wholesale price starts at just 10 plants. Please click on each tree's entry for more details.

Rootstocks: To propagate a breed of plum tree, cuttings are taken from an adult tree's twigs and grafted onto a rootstock. The rootstock will determine the tree's rate of growth and eventual size. The most universal rootstock for the garden and orchard grower is St Julien A. This give you the option of training your tree into a wide range of forms, as a fan or espalier against a wall, for example, or letting it grow normally, in which case its maximum height will be 5 metres - ideal for a large crop that can be harvested with a stepladder and an assistant.

Delivery information: The planting and delivery season for bare rooted plum trees is November through to February / March. If you place your order out of season, we will deliver your plants at the beginning of the next season. We will notify you of the delivery date by e-mail, plants come with a helpful leaflet on planting, and we use a 24 hour courier service to get your plants to you in good condition. Please do contact us on 01963 359 444 or info@ashridgetrees.co.uk if we can assist you with any questions.
