Mirabelles
Mirabelles are a sub category of plums producing round fruits of about 25mm diameter. They are a speciality in the Lorraine region of north east France where the climate and soils seem ideal for its cultivation. They grow happily in other areas in Europe where the climate an soil are suitable including in southern UK. Sweet fruits are usually made into preserve, pies, wine or even brandy.
We are offering three different Mirabelle varieties. Long established 'De Nancy' that has been at the heart of the production in north east France and two more recent introductions from Ukraine
In the UK what appears to be Mirabelles can sometimes be seen fruiting alongside roads and tracks in areas that have and still grow fruit. They are likely to be Cherry plums. Though their red or yellow fruits look similar in July and into August they are distinctly different to Mirabelles.
