Greengages

[lindyloo50]

Hello all, can you tell me if Greengages can be grown up here int North. I happened to buy some fruit a fortnight ago in Canterbury, I made some jam with it which was absolutely wonderful. I've searched all over and can't find any fruit to buy up here, does anyone know where I can get any from or must I resort to growing my own?? Can anyone help please or recommend a nursery to buy trees from?

Lindyloo, you can add your location to your profile - that way it will show up on your posts. As to buying greengages, they are past their best down here. Found this link for a greengage plant/tree from Unwins Grow Your Own Greengage Tree | Mail Order Old Greengage Trees

Asdas have had greengages in their stores, this week, around here. Am hoping to have some from my own tree next year, got my tree from Buckingham nurseries.
