The sweet golden-green plums of ‘Imperial Gage’ provide a delicious late summer treat. This compact tree yields heavy crops of small, oval fruit with remarkably sweet and juicy yellow-green flesh with honeyed undertones. Flowering in early spring, the profuse white blossoms give way to abundant plum harvests from mid August perfect for eating fresh or cooked.

Pollination information: Although partially self-fertile, yields will be increased if paired with a pollinating partner from another variety of plum nearby. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 2, however it is possible to use one from group 1 or 3 as well.

Garden care:

When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Stone fruits like the plums should be pruned in the summer because they are prone to a disease called silver leaf which enters through cuts. If you prune in late summer, the sap is slowing but is still running fast enough to seal up any wounds. Check and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.
