Old Fashioned Greengage - 10Ltr Potted Tree

• Recommended by the Royal Horticultural Society
• Self-fertile for guaranteed fruit
• Long-serving British favourite

The Old Greengage is a heritage British favourite much-loved for centuries and lauded as the best-tasting of all plum varieties- rich, juicy and full-flavoured.

Aside from taste the heavily-cropping fruit turns from leaf-green to a warming yellow indicating ripeness and the time to harvest.

This self-fertile variety produces fruit even when there are no other greengages in the area. This gives you peace of mind that you can look forward to fruit even when you plant your tree in isolation.

Eaten fresh from the tree, or collected and reduced into a traditional preserve you'll enjoy the fruits of your labour each and every year with fruit increasing in number with each and every season.

This Old Fashioned Greengage variety has a delicious, sweet and rich flavour with translucent flesh.

We may prune your tree before it arrives to your door. We do this to encourage your tree to branch freely which makes them better looking and more productive.

During summer delivery, our plants may exhibit signs of nature's hustle and bustle on their leaves. Since we have a high concentration of plants on the nursery, a variety of insects are drawn to them as a source of food and nutrition. We feel that this is all part of gardening and have to strike a balance between keeping the plants healthy for our customers and not interfering too much with natural lifecycles.

We try to use as many natural methods of control as possible and only intervene as a last resort. So you may see some leaves that are discoloured or with small areas where the insects have been eating them. Any high levels of damage or attack will have been dealt with prior to delivery and plants graded out as best as possible when selected for packing. No plants will be delivered with damage that will affect the future growth or success of harvest.
