I recently decided to add a few Bavay's Green Gage plums to the farm and found them to be readily available through a number of nurseries here in the US. A few places also carried them under the French name Reine Claude de Bavay. In the process of reading about this plum, I discovered there are two related strains, differing mostly by color I believe, that don't seem to be available anywhere in the US. I'm probably wrong about their availability, but have hit a wall because I only know their French names: Reine Claude Dorée and Reine Claude d'Althan. There very well may be more common English names for these other two but I have no idea what they might be. Are there any plums aficionados on the list who may know the English names or and/or know a source for these other two plums? When I searched on Google I've found these plums to be quite available through Europe, but specifically by their French names. I can't help but think they've got to be available somewhere in the States.
Are three of these plums are quite beautiful. You'll find images of them here:
