British Columbia: fall plants can’t ship there this season. Seeds can.

Mirabelles are small European plums traditionally prized for intensely flavoured yellow fruit. They belong within the European plum complex, commonly treated as the mirabelle group of Prunus domestica. This tree is sold as a group selection rather than as a named Mirabelle cultivar.

Mirabelle fruit is used fresh and for preserves, baking and traditional plum products. Fruit colour, exact harvest date and self fertility can vary among selections, so a compatible European plum nearby is the prudent pollination plan while this stock is evaluated.

Our fall tree is grafted on Cherry Plum (Prunus 'Jeffchum') rootstock.

Cold Hardiness Zone: 4

Botanical name: Prunus domestica subsp. syriaca

Rootstock: Cherry Plum (Prunus 'Jeffchum')

Pollination: Plant with a compatible European plum; exact self fertility is not established.

What mirabelle means

Mirabelle is a group within the European plums, not one single variety. It is usually treated as Prunus domestica subsp. syriaca. This tree is sold at group level, and we are still evaluating it.
