An upright, rounded, late season cherry-plum with dark green leaves. White blossom in early spring is followed by large, carmine red, orange-fleshed, plum-like fruit in late summer. A dual purpose cultivar, ‘Gypsy’ offers a sweet and flavoursome top fruit option for small gardens.
Pollination Information: Though partially self-fertile, this plum will produce a bigger crop if planted with another variety of plum. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 1, however it is possible to use one from group 2 as well.
When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Mirabelles and other stone fruits should be pruned in the summer because they are prone to a disease called Silver Leaf which enters through cuts. If you prune in late summer, the flow of sap is slowing down but is still running fast enough to seal up any wounds. Check and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.
