Old Greengage has a fairly plain appearance, producing fairly small pale green fruits, which turn slightly yellow when ripe. Old Greengage has an exceptional flavour, especially when eaten fresh. It is tender, sweet and juicy, although not a heavy cropper. Whilst it is a self-fertile variety, pollination is improved if you have a reliable cropper alongside e.g. Oullins Golden Gage.
