Bavay's Green Gage is a cherished heirloom plum variety, renowned for its exquisite honey-like sweetness. Often hailed as the finest-flavored of all European plums, it remains a favorite among fruit enthusiasts. Known for their small, round fruit with smooth green skin and tender, golden flesh. These plums are exceptionally sweet and flavorful, making them perfect for fresh eating, preserves, and baking. Thriving in full sun and well-draining soil, Green Gage trees require moderate chill hours and benefit from a pollinator, such as Italian Plum, French Improved Prune and Blue Damson Plum, for enhanced yields. The tree blooms in early spring with delicate white flowers, adding ornamental value. With its rich heritage, unparalleled sweetness, and versatility, Green Gage is a timeless choice for plum enthusiasts.

Green Gage Plum trees, scientifically known as Prunus domestica 'Green Gage,' are prized for their sweet and flavorful fruits, which have been cultivated for centuries. These trees are relatively easy to grow and can provide a bountiful harvest for home gardeners and orchard enthusiasts alike. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to grow and care for Green Gage Plum trees:

  • Zones: 5-9

  • Chill hours: 700

  • Harvest: July-August

  • Looks: Small-medium sized with attractive bright green skin and amber, smooth-textured flesh.

  • Personality: Tart-sweet with rich candy-like flavor; excellent fresh, dried and cooked.

  • Facts of note: Green Gage–Bavay's, is an heirloom plum variety prized for its exceptional honey taste. Considered by many to be the finest flavored of all European Plums. Small green fruit with translucent greenish-yellow flesh develop red blush when ripe. Adapted to a wide range of climates the Green Gage tolerates the cold and unpredictable winters and springs of zone 5 and 6 as well as ripening in the warmth of zone 9. This variety can take a few more years then most to begin to set. But dependable year after year after the first good crop. Though self-fruitful the Green Gage will set a larger crop when planted with other European plum varieties.

  • Pollination: Self-fruitful, but the fruit crop will be larger if the tree is planted with a second tree.

  • Planting: Green Gage Plum trees thrive in well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. Choose a sunny location with at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily. Plant your tree in early spring or late fall when the soil is workable. Ensure the planting hole is twice as wide as the root ball and slightly shallower.

  • Spacing: Allow sufficient spacing between trees, approximately 15 to 20 feet apart, to ensure proper air circulation and sunlight penetration. This spacing helps prevent diseases and ensures healthy growth and fruit production.

  • Watering: Newly planted Green Gage Plum trees require regular watering to establish their root systems. Provide 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, either through rainfall or manual irrigation, during the growing season. Once established, these trees are moderately drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture during fruit development.

  • Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, in early spring before new growth begins. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding application rates and methods. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization, as it can promote vegetative growth at the expense of fruit production.

  • Pruning: Prune Green Gage Plum trees during the dormant season, typically in late winter or early spring, to remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches. Additionally, thin out crowded branches to improve airflow and light penetration. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stimulate excessive vegetative growth and reduce fruiting.

  • Pest and Disease Management: Keep an eye out for common pests and diseases that may affect Green Gage Plum trees, such as aphids, plum curculio, and brown rot. Monitor your trees regularly and take appropriate measures, such as applying insecticidal soap or horticultural oil, to control pests. Practice good sanitation by removing fallen fruit and debris to minimize disease spread.

  • Harvesting: Green Gage Plum trees typically produce ripe fruit in late summer to early fall, depending on the growing region and climate. Harvest plums when they are fully ripe but still firm to the touch. Ripe fruit will have a slight give when gently squeezed and will detach easily from the tree with a gentle twist.

  • Storage: Store harvested plums in a cool, dry place or refrigerate them to prolong freshness. Avoid washing plums until ready to eat, as excess moisture can promote spoilage. Green Gage Plums are known for their excellent flavor and can be enjoyed fresh, used in baking, or preserved through canning or freezing.

  • Pollination: Green Gage Plum trees are self-fertile but benefit from cross-pollination to improve fruit set and yield. Planting multiple varieties of plum trees nearby can enhance pollination and increase fruit production. Bees and other pollinators play a crucial role in this process, so encourage biodiversity in your garden to attract them.

  • Winter Protection: In regions with harsh winters, provide winter protection for young Green Gage Plum trees to prevent frost damage. Mulch around the base of the tree to insulate the roots and protect them from freezing temperatures. Consider wrapping the trunk with tree wrap or burlap to prevent sunscald and frost cracks.

Overall, growing Green Gage Plum trees can be a rewarding experience for gardeners of all skill levels. With proper care and maintenance, these trees can provide an abundance of delicious fruit for many years to come. Whether enjoyed fresh, baked into pies, or preserved for later use, Green Gage Plums are sure to delight taste buds and bring joy to the garden.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.
