Tatge is said to have originated at Belle Plains, Benton County, Iowa. In 1892, 

 J. W. Kerr of Maryland mentioned this plum as a new variety, brought to notice about 

 1890. Tatge is so similar to the Lombard that many authorities have noted them as 

 identical. J. L. Budd of Iowa considered it somewhat hardier and less subject to rot.
