Unique Mirabelle Plum Tree (Prunus domestica, subspecies syriaca in the Rosaceae family; sliwa domowa, mirabelka in Polish). It originates from a wild fruit grown in Anatolia. The Latin term “mirabilis” means “of wondrous beauty”, like the sun in July. In the springtime, Mirabelle trees bloom snow-white and blossom here at the beginning of April. They are prized trees because of their beautiful, orb-like fruits (yellow, orange, and red varieties). The major cultivar is the Mirabelle de Lorraine (orchards in Metz and Nancy considered). In Poland, mirabelles grow both wild and cultivated, often at roadsides and backyards.
