Greengage Fruit Tree

The Greengage fruit tree grows a small plum-like fruit. Greengage fruits are known for their exceptional taste, since they are very sweet. It is often called the finest dessert plum around. We all remember the nursery rhyme: "Little Jack Horner sat in a corner eating a mincemeat pie. He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum, and said, "What a good boy am I". No doubt he had a Greengage fruit on his thumb if he enjoyed it that much. The fruits are small and yellow-green and easy to grow. Greengage trees can grow up to 9 feet tall and are self-fertile. It grows even better when it has something else to cross pollinate with, such as an Oullins Gage. Honey bees will commonly cross them with other plum trees in the area. It's blooming will start at anywhere from 1 year of age to 5 years. It requires full sun for good health. http://www.candofarms.com/Fruit_Trees.html http://www.aaronsfarm.com/product/Green+Gage+Plum+Tree
