Hello Anton,

If you have searched for many varieties, the odds of a synonym or two
existing is quite good. I was just looking for Early Victoria apple and
through a bit of surfing discovered that a synonym is Emneth Early. Anyway,
Nick Botner has a Blue Giant which could be your Grosser Bleue. It looks
like he has the Victoria Plum. He has several Reine Claude varieties.

The web address may help with descriptions of some of the older varieties.

Good Luck,

Wondering if anyone knows of any sources in the states - either nursery
trees or scionwood of the following hard to find plums. . . or if you
have trialed any of these and how they performed. I believe these were
all trialed in Canada, though some have origins in the US. Emerald and
Omaha I believe were also trialed in MN in the early 1900s. I'm
especially interested in the first three hybrids.

hybrids:
Elliot - U of MN release in 1920
Emerald - Nebraska origin circa 1900
Omaha - sister of Emerald circa 1900

european (p. domestica)
levis
l'islet
reine claude de montmorency - imported to Cananda in late 1700's
victoria (not 'victory') - old english (i think) variety

other:
grosse bleue?
