Description

Aprimira is a mirabelle or hybrid mirahelle / plum. The fruits are sweet, and relatively large by the standards of mirabelles – more like small plums in size.

The stone falls away cleanly from the flesh, which makes it easier to use the fruits for cooking with.

The dusky red and orange fruits ripen gradually throughout August, at about the same time as Victoria plums, and can be picked from the tree over an extended period. They will also keep fresh in a fridge for about a week – longer than most dessert plums.
