BAVAY GREEN GAGE EUROPEAN PLUM

Price range: $39.95 through $52.95

'Gage' type plums came to France from Italy in the early 1500s. Here they were known as 'Reine Claude' plums, in honour of Queen Claude. Two hundred years later these plums
were introduced to England by Sir William Gage and for some reason were named after him. Bavay's is a superior selection with smooth-textured, meaty, amber flesh. While larger than most Gage plums, it is barely medium in size. Rich and candy-sweet, it is equally enjoyable whether eaten fresh, cooked, canned, or preserved. The compact tree reliably bears large crops that can hang on the tree for several weeks after ripening.

What is Orchard Grade?

An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.

What is a 2 year old tree?

A '2 year old tree' is one that has grown an extra season in our nursery field.

All our trees are planted in the field in the spring as rootstock. They are grafted in August of the 1st year. Most of our trees are dug out in November of the 2nd year. Some trees are in the ground for another season. We dig these in November of the 3rd year. These are considered to be '2 year old trees'.

A '2 year old tree' has bigger roots, a thicker trunk, and more branching (They might start fruiting a year earlier).
