Title: Rootstocks for Plums
Author: APS Citation
Abstract:
Justin Brook, a British grower,
makes the following comments (Commercial
Grower, Sept. 11, '59): "As to
(rootstocks for) plums, we use the Old
English Greengage for all the gages,
and Myrobalan B for all other plums.
We are very careful to get the true
Old English Greengage for budding.
The Greengage stocks in this country
are terribly mixed; and matters are
made worse because Cambridgeshire
growers who grow the Old English
Greengage, refer to their plum as the
Cambridgeshire Gage.
It is of inferior
quality and should not be used for
budding."
