About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

The Mirabelle von Nancy is the classic, widely known mirabelle and the benchmark for sweet mirabelle flavour. It is self-fertile, so you do not need a second tree as a pollinator. The small fruits, yellow with red cheeks, ripen from mid August (week 33) and come away cleanly from the stone. It is susceptible to sharka, so plant it in an airy, sunny spot.

Golden yellow, juicy flesh with a honeyed sweetness and a fine spice. A delight fresh from the tree, unbeatable cooked down into jam or compote, and the basis for a fine mirabelle brandy.
