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.

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.

Great Story!!
Format: Kindle
This was a great story however, it did seem a little short. Maybe a little rushed, but that could also be because I wanted a little more development of the characters as a family :). Also, I love how this story doesn’t seem like there are two different authors! Whew :). I love that!!! The only real criticism I have is that there are too many characters with names that start with the letter “T” and it makes reading the story a little confusing.

reverse harem with heart and a HEA
Format: Kindle
Author duo Sasha Moon and Cassie Cole delivered a well written reverse harem romance read in Billionaire's Nanny. Our female lead Tessa starts as a server at an event and meets a sweet lil girl Tabitha. Damian is Tabitha's father and after the event all he hears about it Tessa and so, in his billionaire style shows up unannounced to offer Tessa a job as Tabitha's nanny that she can't refuse. Damian may be the beginning but there is also Theo, head of security and Nico, chauffeur and chef. These three go everywhere together. I love how our authors introduce us to the art world, exotic places traveled. They weave together the heat and sweet so well and I love that there is a storyline with mystery, heart just as much as the heat the characters bring. A wonderful HEA is to be had as well! A really good read! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

So many plot twists and turns!
Format: Kindle
In Billionaire's Nanny, Tessa is a catering waitress. While working an event, she encounters Tabitha, a precocious 6 year old who is bored and seeking her own form of entertainment when left to entertain herself at her father's event. Taking the child under her wings and keeping her out of trouble, little does Tessa know that with that simple act, the trajectory of her life will forever be altered. Damian is Tabitha's father. He's wildly successful in the art world and a billionaire. Theo is his body guard and head of security, while Nico is his chauffeur (of any form of transportation that moves) and personal chef. The three travel everywhere together. Damian is out to right the wrongs of the previous generations of his family. He wants his daughter to be proud of her legacy and he will do anything to ensure that she has this opportunity, even if it requires lying, stealing and riding the fine line between what is morally and legally right and wrong. In order to do this, he desperately needs the help of someone he trusts to watch over his daughter. Tabitha won't stop talking about Tessa and the time they spent together at the event. Without notice, Damian shows up on Tessa's doorstep and orders her to join them as Tabitha's nanny. Needing the money to help care for her siblings, Tessa agrees. What ensues is a quest for Tessa to learn who to trust. There is an air of mystery continually surrounding the three men that leaves Tessa feeling uneasy. Secretive meetings and phone calls. Continually jet setting from country to country. Locked vaults and rooms depicted on doll houses as nothing more than empty spaces. Who are these men? Are they good guys or bad? Tessa struggles with her growing feelings as she finds herself equally attracted to them all. As each man spends more time with Tessa and finds himself intrigued by her, each wants her for himself. These are three alpha males all vying for pole position in Tessa's heart. Little do they know, Tessa isn't interested in having only one in pole position. For her, it's all or nothing. Will they be able to give up ultimate control and learn to share? Authors Sasha Moon and Cassie Cole have done it again! This is an extremely well developed novel. Normally I am quick to determine the plot and the direction it's taking. If there's a mystery in a plot, I've usually solved it by 25% of the way into the book. The plot of this book was hard to guess, which is actually what makes this book so fantastic! I love the twists and the turns; the hint at explanations without actually not explaining much of anything at all. LOL It kept me engrossed and wanting to know what the heck was going on. The authors did a fabulous job of slowly dispersing tidbits of plot weaving intrigue and mystery throughout the entire length of the book. This book kept me focused the entire time I was reading it. I love that Tessa is a strong female lead. She isn't afraid to back down or ask questions when things don't make sense. She also has a soft side that just wants to be loved and to feel affection. She is like a mollusk, hard on the outside yet soft on the inside and in her heart. As much as she would like to trust, she has learned that you cannot blindly trust. So she asked questions. She watches. She tries to determine if her employer Damian is truly an individual that is upstanding and one whom she can trust with her life and her heart. The three men in the story are harder for the reader to get to know, especially Damian's character. The author slowly feeds you information with regards to their personalities, but even with the air of mystery surrounding them, there's something likeable about each of them. I couldn't help rooting for them all to get their HEA. This book is an absolute definite must read!

Not your average Billionaire's Nanny
Format: Kindle
A unique twist on a Billionaires Nanny plot. I was immediately drawn into the story and it kept me guessing on how it would unfold. The chemistry between Tessa, Damien, Theo and Nico was HOT. The spicy scenes were intense and everything you would expect from a Cassie Cole book. I had a difficult time connecting with Tessa. Some of her actions and unexplained entitlement to know everything going on around her seemed off to me but Theo was my absolute favorite.
