Prunus domestica subsp. syriaca 'Reine de Mirabelle'

While not considered a "true" Mirabelles (it is claimed to be a cross between the original green Gage plum Reine Claude and the French Mirabelle) this larger, golden plum exceeds other Mirabelles in size and ripens a bit later, extending the coveted Mirabelle season. It is prized in Europe as a culinary plum, for fresh eating and for luscious preserves. 

Prefers full sun and good drainage; easier to grow than most Gage plums. 

Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 5

Mature Height:  12' 

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: Late Summer

Pollination: Needs a Pollinizer (Mirabelle or Gage)

Rootstock: St. Julian A

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • I have an elephant heart plum. Will This cross pinste with it?

    Unlikely. Elephant Heart is a Japanese variety of plum and blooms too early for mirabelle plums. Mirabelle plums can be a challenge as they bloom early for a European plum, but not as early as an Asian plum. We suggest Gage plums, or other Mirabelle plums planted close by, to ensure good pollination.

  • Our family is from Metz, so in forming an edible landscape that verity of Mirabelle would be traditional.Which pollinator would be most likely to bloom in harmony with Mirabelle de Metz? Also in zone 8a, full Sun, sandy soil, hot humid summers, low chill hours. thanks

    Any of the early blooming european plums will do fine, but specifically Gage plums are the best pollinators for Mirabelle plums.

  • how many chill hours

    600+ chilling hours

Bare Root Plum Trees

I purchased several bare root trees over the last 15 years and all of them were packed well, healthy and grew well. All the videos and instructions are extremely helpful and customer service is quick in their response to any questions. I highly recommend Raintree. TY.

Excitedly waiting

It took a while to arrive as a bare root delivery, and it will take a while to bear fruit, but it's finally budding small leaves so it's no longer a stick with branches! We've planted 13 trees this year and named each one. We welcome Mirabel to our plant family and are excitedly waiting for her to leaf out, take strong root, and give the sweetest plums ever...in 2-4 years!

Mirabelle plum

This bare root tree arrived in a timely fashion. This is my 4th bare root purchase and I have to say that the Raintree bareroots seem to me the best I have received, and with the best timing and instructions. I am a home grower. These arrived with substantially more roots and branches than prior offerings and in time to be planted out while all my other trees were dormant. They were possibly less hydrated than prior offerings but they look good at the moment. Hope I retain this opinion after they leaf out.
