Miracosa

Mirakosa is a stone fruit variety that was created by crossing the Mirabelle de Nancy with the Queen Victoria plum .

description

Mirakosa is frost hardy, healthy, vigorous and very fertile.

The fruit of the variety Mirakosa is slightly larger than the house plum and matures just before her. The color is yellow and dotted with reddish dots on the sunny side. The pulp is yellow, stone-loosening, firm and spicy and sweet. Mirakosa is a fine table, economy and preserving fruit.

Cultivation

The Mirakosa variety was once widespread in the Middle Rhine Valley , but is hardly to be found today because of the preference for blue varieties. The tree tops have to be cut back vigorously for a few years so that the branches do not droop due to the high fertility.

According to the Julius Kühn Institute , the Mirakosa variety was first mentioned in 1962. The pomologist Matth. Etscheid from Prangenberg near Neustadt-Wied entrusted the J. Brassel tree nursery in Schweifeld near Linz on the Rhine with the sole propagation of its new Mirakosa variety. According to a list of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley World Heritage, there was only one tree nursery in 2013 where the Mirakosa variety could be obtained.
