Early Transparent Gage

Description

The oldest gage still in cultivation and still the best flavoured! Originally from Armenia, this variety made its way here via Italy. Some stones thought to be Greengage stones were recovered on the Mary Rose which sank in 1543.  The round fruits are tender and absolutely delicious.  The only downside is that cropping can be irregular-but a fruit this good is worth the wait.
