Mirabelle de Nancy

This is a traditional old French variety,

The fruits are an attractive speckled yellow colour, and ripen in early September in southern Ireland.

Mirabelles are primarily used in the kitchen although they can be eaten fresh too.

Mirabelle de Nancy is partially self-fertile. It will bear a reasonable crop on its own, but cropping is improved if a different mirabelle variety is planted nearby.

8Mirabelle de Nancy flowers prolifically over a long period, making it a good pollination partner for many other European plum and damson varieties.
