Mirabelles here are small, bland, greeny yellow and very sweet. I like dark plus with flavour, both fresh and cooked, but haven't come across one yet I want to plant here and I'm still negotiating a fruit cage with OH as when I do plant for us I want the fruits. The birds are welcome to the mirabelles and the cherries previous owners have planted. I'll just enjoy the blossom and buzzing of bees.
I have a couple of pear trees and an apricot outside plus two nectarines and a peach that have spent winter in pots in the polytunnel. Once I have those planted in a permanent spot I'll turn my attention to apples. Golden and red delicious, Gala and other standard SM varieties do not excite me at all so I need some tasty ones.
