Sibley's Patio Gage Reine-Claude Oullins Fruit Tree in a 4.L Pot

If you have ever tasted old-fashioned greengage fruits, which the French call Reine-Claudes, you will know how wonderfully tasty and juicy they are. Now you can grow them as the perfect patio fruit tree for smaller gardens. Specially selected and developed by renowned British Fruit grower Will Sibley, he's found new rootstocks which keep it patio perfect.

Their sweet late Summer fruit are some of the most delicious you can grow - looking like an unripe plum perhaps, they are packed with an intense flavour not found in other plums. The arrival of the first picked fruits is a reason for celebration in parts of France! Best eaten fresh in our opinion, you can also cook with them, to make great jellies, tarts, jams, and sauces

As garden trees, they are very good doers. They have the most beautiful Spring blossom to kick off the year. A very hardy tree indeed, and partially self-fertile - you can increase crops by growing near peaches and nectarines, or using an artist's paintbrush from flower to flower when in blossom. You should crops in the second or third season after planting.

This little beauty is destined to stay small, so works well in a big pot on the patio or terrace. The variety has been grafted onto a very dwarfing rootstock Will found in the former Soviet Union!! Grab one while they are still in stock.
