Description

Prunus Cambridge Gage

Description of Cambridge Gage Trees & Fruit:
The Cambridge Gage is one of the most popular greengage trees. It is almost as delicious as the Old Greengage, but while that tree often bears quite small yields, the Cambridge gage is a reliable cropper and also self fertile. The sweet fruit are equally good for eating fresh and making jam. The trees are naturally compact and shouldn't require any pruning.

Browse our range of plums & gages or all of our fruit trees.
