I seem to remember Tree-mendous fruit orchard near Paw-Paw, MI had a fair
number of greengages last year. This is a HUGE orchard (hundred of acres)
with more varieties than you can shake a stick at. I believe South Meadow
Nursery gets much of their scion wood from that orchard. I'm not sure what
constitutes commercially available, but they do ship their fruit far and
wide. If you are ever in the area, its a neat place to visit.
