Actually I tell a lie. I picked a very large, very oval, gold-coloured plum from a tree in Golden Bay the other week and it was delicious. No idea of the variety.
That sounds about right – it was intensely fragrant. I've just looked up Coe's Golden and see it was raised from a greengage: https://www.orangepippin.com/varieties/plums/coes-golden-drop
(I love this site, which I came across several years ago and used to be just about apples.)
Turns out last year was the massive crop. Much smaller this time but another plum tree with oval fruit is doing well this time. Would have taken a photo but you know that plums in the icebox poem and all so I had to eat them on the way back inside.
