Reine de Mirabelle European Plum

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 Read our Plum Growing Guide
