A dessert plum whose white spring blossoms give way to firm, oblong, dark blue fruits adorned with a pale blue bloom and sweet yellow flesh. ‘Kulinaria’ has excellent disease resistance, and offers an extended harvest period, with fruits ripening from mid-August to early September. It’s known for producing large, excellent-tasting plums, making it a popular choice for both fresh consumption and plum brandy production. This hardy and disease-resistant plum tree is well-suited for organic growing and can thrive in more northerly gardens within the UK.
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 2, however it is possible to use one from group 1 or 3 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.
