I focus on later blooming varieties of Euro plums, and this blooms much, much earlier than they do. It also blooms profusely, and has a fair amount of later "straggler" blooms, so it ends up fruiting fairly reliably for me in Ohio. The tree took american hybrid plum grafts well. Fairly disease resistant in my rainy location. Fruit hangs on the tree fine and gets sweeter. Nothing remarkable, but taste is refreshing. Very vigorous indeed. I hacked a 12 foot tree down to a 3' trunk with no branches. Never finished cutting the trunk down all the way, 2 years later I have a 12 ft tall tree again. The fruit looks like a large gage but tastes more like an asain plum. It is juicy, has moderately sweet flesh, sour but non-astringent skin. It is less aromatic than most asian plums, but that is the only non-asian characteristic that I can tell.Tom Chttps://growingfruit.org/u/ztom/summarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161591018128431706.post-45217496514080870302023-12-25T22:14:19.973-08:002023-12-25T22:14:19.973-08:00I grafted this year another Jefferson gage.

One grower, Verde, calls theirs "European" Green Gage, and the other bare root supplier, Pacific Groves, calls theirs "Green Gage Japanese Plum". I know believe that Fruitwood nursery accurately describes this with their Japanese Green Gage Plum scion for sale with this description, "A very vigorous and highly productive Japanese plum that has fruit similar to the classic European Green Gage plums. Sold for years by the LE Cooke Nursery here in California it has the same rich and very sweet flavor as a classic Green Gage, A hardy tough tree it is much easier to grow in hot climates where the European version can be unsuccessful. A green turning to amber gold with a pink blush and very juicy plum. Highly recomended..". So I am left wondering are there really 2 different "Jeffersons" or are they the same thing? I have read similar comments to Orangepippin.com website where they say "The Jefferson gage was raised in Albany, New York in the 1820s and named in honour of President Jefferson. ", so perhaps there is a real Gage Jefferson and a fake on that is Japanese. Most of the growers who say they have a Jefferson describe theirs as a super early bloomer, before all other gages, so this makes me thing it's a Japanese plum. Perhaps it's a hybrid like Toka? <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161591018128431706.post-88802537475418937012021-03-20T18:55:21.591-07:002021-03-20T18:55:21.591-07:00Don, if you are in the US, send me an email.
