Talk:Mirabelle plum

Some confusion here. Mirabelle and Cherry_Plum both mention Lorraine as producing 15,000 tons or 70% of the world's production of this fruit. But they are different species, Mirabelle is Prunus Domestica Insititia, Cherry Plum or Myrobalan is Prunus Cerasifera. I don't know which is correct, since I came to Wikipedia hoping to find the correct answer!
 * Only this article has the mention of the fruit tonnage, although no ref yet !DavidAnstiss (talk) 18:18, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

PGI? Reference?
Since 1996 the mirabelle de Lorraine has been recognized and promoted by the EU as a high-quality regional product, with a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI).

Whoever added this should have had no trouble finding a reference for this, actually, they would ideally have added this because they saw the source for this somewhere.

But then again… if I or anyone went through this marking everything that was without a reference (a good reference, Thrillist for example is a rag and not a good source) you couldn't see the (unreferenced) text for all the [citation needed]s --jae (talk) 14:36, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Northern Limit?
I have a large mirabelle plum tree in my garden, in Whitehead, Northern Ireland, at latitude 57.76°. It produces a moderate crop of fruit around 25mm in diameter (the Metz cultivar perhaps), and they ripen in late July or early August. I can't detect the tree in an aerial photo from the 1930's, which may put a limit on its age. 84.13.228.127 (talk) 14:28, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
