The Golden Gage Plum tree is a popular, robust, and reliable fruit tree. It's known for its attractive, dual-purpose fruit that bridges the gap between a true plum and a sweet greengage.

Essential Characteristics

Fruit Appearance: Large, round fruit with striking bright golden-yellow skin 🌕 and translucent yellow flesh.

Taste & Use: Features a strong, fruity flavor with moderate sweetness, making it ideal for both eating fresh 😋 and cooking/preserving (like jam or bottling).

Harvest Time: Typically ripens in the mid-season, usually around Mid-August 🗓️.

Pollination: It is Self-Fertile (or partially), meaning you only need one tree to get a crop. 🐝

Growing: Tends to be relatively hardy and is a reliable cropper, performing well even in cooler climates, provided it's in a sunny, sheltered spot ☀️.
