Thanks Wayne
I stand corrected, in part, cf wiki on Mirabelle :-)
What I meant if you're interested in the varieties was Quetsche
d'Alsace and Reine Victoria trees i.e. different fruit(s), same
general species though. Photos here yet not mine ...

I am also the proud owner of a Mirabelle de Lorraine orchard.

An for your complete information the locals distill quetsches and
mirabelles to get spirits called after the fruits and that may reach
50% proof and over for long conservation.... 45% is the legal limit
for sale.
