Buying Mirabelle Trees

We are trying to buy a Mirabelle tree. Friends in SW Germany grow a wonderful variety of Mirabelle. Locals can even rent a tree in the village orchards for a year and sell the produce. The Mirabelles are small, round, pale yellow and bursting with sweetness, so are perhaps the Nancy variety. However, when we bought a Mirabelle minaret from a UK dealer, it produced sharp-tasting greengages of a normal plum size. So, we would like to know where we can get the 'real thing' in the UK, preferably as a minaret. Any suggestions? Thank you!

  • Thank you very much pansyface. Yes, I got the impression they were very tender, (the sweetest fruits often seem to be). Thankfully, we have a reasonable temperature range, so I live in hope that we may finally be able to grow the genuine article!
