Cambridge Gage
Cambridge Gage (Prunus domestica 'Cambridge') is a delightful small, yellow-green gage. It is popular because of its deliciously juicy fruit. It produces reliable crops and is self-fertile, therefore no need for a pollination partner and will produce fruit without the need for another Gage tree neaby. It prefers a sheltered, warm, sunny position. Cambridge will cross pollinate with plums.
Month of Picking: Late-August
Type of Gage: Eating
Self-fertile/Not self-fertile: This gage is self-fertile so there is no need for another gage for pollination
This gage is in flowering period is C3 so if you have another gage tree that is not self-fertile, it will pollinate it so long as it is in flowering groups C2,C3 or C4.
Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. Corners of houses and fences can also suffer leeching issues so we advise against it.
Important Gage Fruit Tree information
All our containerised Gage fruit trees (those that come in pots) can be planted ALL YEAR ROUND (except in frost) but do not leave them outside in their containers over winter (October to March) as it may kill the Gage Tree. If you want to keep them in the their pot or container, during winter move them to a heated conservatory or greenhouse.
