Greengage Tree

Well lin that's really interesting to me because I didn't plant a greengage tree but have one which appeared between my Victoria Plum and a damson tree. It had a lot of fruit last year, not that sweet but ok for cooking. As you have blossom this year I'm sure you will get some fruit. Hope so anyway.

Hopefully you will get some fruit if you now have blossom, I suppose it depends on the weather over the next week or so, and of there are any other plum trees nearby.. My greengage isn't out yet, but I love making jam ect from it..

It will depend on if we get late frosts, that goes for my pear trees as well, the last couple of years have been very good but the blossom seems early this year. My trees all get a balanced fertiliser in the spring, a bit of extra high potash feed may help as wel, my gage is about the same age as yours and what we really want is a good healthy tree, good root system as well as the parts you can see

Hope you get a good crop of greengages this year because as your my Hubby's sister he said we exspect to be given some or at the least a nice jar of greengage jam, as you know Jimmy knows nothing about gardening and thinks if you water the tree with a bottle of Whisky it might help because it does wonders for him LOL

Hi Lin sorry i know nothing about greengage trees, but welcome to GOY. I am a friend of Sheils.
