Mirabelle Plum Tree

The Mirabelle Plum Tree produces small, golden-yellow fruit prized for its intense sweetness and rich, honeyed flavor. A traditional European variety, Mirabelle plums are famous for jams, tarts, and preserves — especially in France, where they are considered a delicacy.

The fruit is smooth-skinned, aromatic, and exceptionally sweet when fully ripe. Though small in size, Mirabelles are packed with flavor and perfect for fresh eating or culinary use. In spring, the tree is covered in delicate white blossoms before setting clusters of beautiful golden fruit.
