Botanical namePrunus domestica Green Gage

Prunus domestica ‘Green Gage’, known as the 'Green Gage' plum tree, is an old variety renowned for its green plums with yellowish-green flesh, offering an exceptionally sweet and fragrant flavor, considered among the best in the world. Its rounded habit and modest size are perfectly suited for residential orchards and gourmet gardens in Quebec. In spring, it is covered with delicate white blossoms that attract pollinators, adding ornamental interest to the season. Although self-sterile, it becomes very productive in the presence of another compatible plum tree. It adapts to various soil types as long as they are well-drained and fertile, with a preference for sunny exposures. Thanks to its dense, juicy, and richly sweet flesh, the 'Green Gage' plum tree is ideal for fresh consumption, desserts, and processing, while also being a heritage and flavorful choice for the Quebec climate.
