About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

The Mirabelle von Metz is the small fruited sister of the ‚Mirabelle von Nancy' and ripens a little earlier, from the beginning of August (week 32). Its fruits are more delicate, often finely dotted with red and particularly aromatic. It is self fertile and manages without a second tree. Like all mirabelles it is susceptible to sharka and will thank you for a warm, well ventilated site.

Small, golden yellow fruits with a delicate sweetness and a fine, perfumed aroma. A little less lavish than the Nancy, but delicate, ideal for jam, clear juice and a particularly fine brandy.
