I got a Mirabelle plum mail order from Adams Apples last Autumn. Got lots of good stuff on there and good prices and offers. Came highly recommended by this site. I shall certainly use them again.

Is that the talaton plants website?

We have Mirabelles in our hedgerows. Buying them from a hedging specialist is amazingly cheaper than buying them from a fruit tree supplier. My Dad bought 50 maidens and gave me half, for peanuts. They grow very rapidly to quite a large tree, and the fruit are tiny - more stone than fruit, but they are beautiful when they carry ripe fruit, which makes excellent jam.
