Mirabelle European Plum Seedling Bareroot

Species: Prunus sp

History: These seedlings are grown from Mirabelle plum seeds collected from our orchard. Mirabelle has been grown in Europe for a long time and remains popular there, especially in France.

Why We Grow It: Seedling fruit trees are a great way to add some diversity and mystery to your garden or orchard! The parent variety, Mirabelle, is super sweet and flavourful. For a more detailed description, see the Mirabelle plum page on our website here.

Please Note: Since plums tend to stay true to type more than apples, these seedlings will likely bear a strong resemblance to their parent variety. However, any specific information listed on this page should be taken with a grain of salt as there may be some variation from the parent tree.
