Description
Greenish flesh of excellent most pleasing flavour. Firm yet very juicy medium sized greengages (or green plums!) that can be eaten straight from the tree or used to make jam or pies.
An heirloom variety originated from Vars-sur-Roseix, France from the late 19th Century.
- Season of use August (mid season variety).
- First introduced 1800's, France.
- Self Fertile - but pollination by another damson, gage or plum will maximise yield.
- Grown on St Julien A rootstock for an ultimate (un-pruned) height of 12 - 15 feet (3.65 - 4.6 metres) but can easily be kept at a height of 6 - 8 feet (1.8 - 2.4 metres).
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
Recommended by the RHS to assist in encouraging bats into the garden as the flowers are likely to attract moths and other night-flying insects which bats love to eat!
