Mirabelle plum

📍 Rock garden, Wishes Bridge, PrimorskiOdesos, bul. "Primorski" 135, 9002 Varna, Bulgaria
Mirabelle plum Public
🗓 Season: July · August
🔍 When is it ripe?
Small golden-yellow plums with a reddish blush when ripe. Very sweet and aromatic. Ripen from late July; fall freely when ready. Pick as soon as they soften — they ferment quickly on the branch.
There's a tree with european plum (Prunus domestica as I suspect) which grows just by the Wishes Bridge. To find it, you need to cross the bridge and head into the Alpineum (the little section of the park which has some pretty cool darn rocks that simulate the Alpine terrain somewhat) and head past the water drinking fountain (You might think it's not even a fountain but the water is drinkable. Use with caution though, sometimes the water is still contaminated). Once you get past it, circle around the little pond in a pit behind it and you will find yourself on an open space with grass and abovementioned rocks sticking from the ground. In the trees, you will spot one that is the seeked Mirabelle. To gather the plums you will either have to step on a small rock platform (it's only big enough for one person to stand on) and jump or bring a stick which you can find anywhere in the park - 3ft long is enough to reach the fruits. Once you are done you can wash them in the water fountain you passed by and then voila - bon appetit :D About the plums - better catch them in the end of August as they are max sweet then, and caution - due to the tree being in urban area, the plums collect exhaust dust from the car engines, which in this case are very close.
