Prunus domestica ‘Mirabelle’

The Prunus domestica ‘Mirabelle’, commonly known as the Mirabelle plum tree, is a deciduous fruit tree renowned for its generous production of small, golden plums with sweet, tender, and highly fragrant flesh, ideal for fresh eating, pies, compotes, or homemade jams. Its rounded and balanced habit, combined with abundant white spring blossoms, also makes it an ornamental feature in the garden. It thrives in full sun in fertile, fresh, and well-drained soil, and requires regular watering, especially during fruiting. Although it is partially self-fertile, the presence of other plum trees nearby significantly improves the harvest. Highly valued in family orchards, this cultivar combines culinary, ecological, and aesthetic value, while being relatively easy to care for in temperate to cold climates.
