damson 'Mirabelle de Nancy'

A partially self-fertile to self-fertile mirabelle cultivar. The white spring blossom is followed by attractive, small, round, speckled, golden yellow fruit and freestone (where the flesh of the fruit is not attached to the pit). Very good for culinary purposes, though the rich sweet flesh is pleasant to eat fresh. Cold hardy, but the blossom can be prone to spring cold damage. Slow to come to cropping. Cropping season: mid-August. It will cross pollinate with other mirabelle cultivars, plums and damsons
