Overview

Originating in Ukraine in 1995, 'Ruby COLUMNAR' has fabulously bright red fruit - and is the largest of the mirabelles. Its sweet peach-like fruits have dark red flesh and the plants have a compact, upright habit. A self-fertile plant, which is definitely worth considering for smaller gardens.

Care guide

When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Stone fruits like the mirabelles 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 sap is slowing but is still running fast enough to seal up any wounds. Check and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Bare root plants are either wrapped in plastic bags or waxed paper where possible and then placed into a cardboard box.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
