About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
Miragrande is the second sharka tolerant Geisenheim mirabelle alongside ‚Bellamira' and lives up to its name: it forms particularly large fruits that almost bring small greengages to mind. It is self fertile, grows vigorously and ripens mid early from the beginning of August (week 32). If you are looking for a modern, robust mirabelle with large fruits, this is the one. The variety is protected by plant breeders' rights.
Strikingly large, golden yellow fruits with mild, rounded sweetness and juicy flesh. Lovely for eating fresh and productive in the kitchen, a few fruits make a lot of compote or jam.
