Greengage Plum (Prunus domestica)

Grab the Finest European Dessert Plums!

A well established and finest the Queen of Plums - The greengages are a group of cultivars of the common European plum. The first true greengage came from a green-fruited wild plum which originated in Iran. Greengages are grown in temperate areas and are known for the rich, confectionery flavour. They are considered to be among the finest dessert plums

Greengage plums have a sweet, honeyed, and syrup-like flesh combined with acidity, creating a balanced and pleasant flavor composed of dried apricot, ripe mango, and citrus marmalade nuances.

The Greengage plum is self-sterile, but needs a pollinator to set a crop. Plums, greengages and damsons are all Prunus domestica trees, and therefore they can all cross-fertilize, as long as they are compatible in terms of flowering time.

Plant is matured and tall. Some branches may have to be cut down to keep it to the box. We will endeavour to only cut it if necessary. 

The plant will grow up to 2m tall and can easily be pruned down.  Note: this is a matured plants and not a new grafted plant.
