Notes

'Cambridge Gage' plum (Prunus domestica 'Cambridge Gage') is a tree for food gardens and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. It blooms from early to late spring, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers. The fruit is grown for fresh eating and cooking, and it ripens late in the season. It is partially self-fertile, so a nearby plum can help the crop.

Pairs well with Crab apple, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Hummelo betony.
