Prunus domestica subsp. syriaca 'Geneva Mirabelle'

This dainty yellow plum blushed with garnet and speckled with ruby stars is a chunkier American cousin to the famous French queen of plums! Incredibly productive and full of sugary flavor, this freestone fruit is filled with rich, fragrant, luscious, golden meat. Great for tarts, compotes, canning or making wine. Formerly known as Mirabelle 858; from Cornell University in Geneva, N.Y.


The tree habit is upright and spreading. Regularly and vigorously productive. Tends to be a shy pollen producer. 

Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 5

Mature Height:  12'

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: August

Pollination: Needs a Pollinizer

Rootstock: St. Julian A

Not enough roots

This tree was shipped to me with half its roots stubbed. The Tree itself looks good, but I am paying for roots here, not a trunk that will simply fail to thrive for a lack of anything to support it. Not worth the money I paid.

Geneva Mirabelle, Parfume de September Mirabelle, and Purple Gage plums

After a long voyage across much of the country in warm weather, the trees all arrived in great shape and still dormant. Planted after an overnight soak and the Geneva is already breaking dormancy after only a few days in the ground.

Great customer service.

Arived in great shape. Was packaged well. Hopefully everything grows out beautifully.

Tree Arrived Dead.

Notified the nursery as soon as the tree arrived that it was dead. Credit doesn't cover the cost of the item and shipping and now you want an additional $35 for shipping and handling again without any guarantee you won't send me another dead tree?!

Love the size and amount of branches!

I love the size and amount of branches on the tree. I got it in the ground and it's already putting out leaf buds! I'm super excited to try the fruit later! The wait was a little long, but I understand why.

Geneva Mirabelle European Plum Tree

This bare root tree arrived dead on arrival. I immediately potted the tree in a 10-gallon pot using sterile potting soil along with the other 2 Mirabelle plum trees, however, this tree never leafed out. I need to call Raintree to order a replacement. This sample is apparently dead for reasons unknown.

Mirabelle plums, yes they are small.

It looks like someone was expecting a big plum. I first had Mirabelle plums which were naturalized/in a big long clump, beside the road in SC. Tiny, and in a drought, there were thousands, and sweet as can be. I live in Michigan, with around 30 fruit trees, and assorted small fruits. I just planted this one and it's budding out just fine. 100% success in my orchard with Raintree. You're probably not going to find these in stores, unless you travel to the Rhein valley. Yes they are small.

Carefully packaged and thriving

We received our trees bare-rooted and carefully packaged. I was very pleased at the maturity of each. I have placed them in pots at the moment to allow them time to establish a healthy root system. Both trees are beginning to develop and budding leaves. One is a little slower than the other, both are thriving. Now, all I need is to purchase a couple of Gage plums as soon as they become available. Great product! Thank you!

Large tree

Received tree on Friday. Planted tree on Sunday. Thank you for sending me a large tree. Makes up for losing previous tree in second year.

“Compote what?”

EXACTLY the same experience as the last guy. Down to the part about wife making me get a Mirabelle de Nancy and another Geneva.

I don’t get this compote/brandy stuff. More like “often used for gobbling up by the handful.”

Wasn’t real quick to come into production, but then, I live in a marginal climate.

Spraying with tiny amounts of Monopotassium Phosphate (only three grams per liter per week during growth season really seemed to make this thing flower.

Pretty Good

Slightly larger than a cherry. But much better. Supposedly they use this for pastry filling in yerp.

My own crop has trouble making it to the back door. Attractive, dense, spreading tree.

My wife made me get another once she tasted the fruit and also a Mirabelle de Nancy.
