Prunus domestica subsp. syriaca 'Mirabelle de Metz'


A member of the Royal Court of Plums! Soft, sweet, exquisitely-flavored Mirabelle de Metz plums are small-stoned, freestone, and yellow dotted with carmine red. This very old, French cultivar of the wonderful Mirabelle ripens in late summer and produces heavily each year. The intensely sweet and fragrant fruits require very little added sugar to create luscious preserves and baked goods.

While Mirabelles tend to be shy pollen producers, this variety will need a pollinizing partner. Upright and blazingly productive most years.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Will 2 of the same plum variety pollinate each other?

    No, you will need another kind of Mirabelle or Gage plum for cross pollination 

  • Will this plum do well with an Italian Plum as a pollinator?

    No, they do not bloom at the same time. Gage plums are the best for Mirabelle plums.

  • What pollinizing partner do you recommend getting with the Mirabelle de Metz?

    Another European plum, like a Gage plum. Coe's Golden Drop, Monsieur Hatif, and Victoria are also suggested.

a little bit of the old country in the USA.

Ever since arriving in the U.S. with my family back in the 60's, I yearned to find a way to once again taste the delicious fruit of the Maribelle. A few years back, i discovered Raintree Nursery and found that they, through a miracle of grafting, offer the Mirabelle plum. My first attempt (totally my fault) ended in a disappointment in trying to achieve too much from the Florida climate. I am now in my 2nd and recently 3rd purchase of the Mirabelle plum this time being in the New England Northeast. #2 is doing quite well despite the hungry insects and although I did not need to worry about fertilization, I purchased #3 just because I wanted #2 to have a friend. Ha Ha. I will reap my reward when the trees start producing fruit.

I am originating from the Metz region and i was so so so so stoked to find affordable mirabelle trees! My trees came well pacakged and in stellar condition. We planted them right away and they are doing fantastic, with their first leaves budding, not even a whole week after planting them! I am excited and stoked that I eventually will have my beloved mirabelle jam and cakes in the future! (We also ordered lowbush Blueberries in another order that arrived the same day, which also arrived super super healthy and are thriving!)
I will definitely chose Raintree Nursery for my future purchases!

Bare root but looked fantastic. I can't wait to see it leaf out! Well pruned out of the box!
