Prunus domestica 'Damson' (Plum Damson)

Prunus Domestica 'Damson' (Plum Damson) is a compact and hardy deciduous fruit tree prized for its small, richly flavoured plums. The fruit has a deep purple to black skin with firm, golden-yellow flesh, offering a tart taste that is ideal for jams, preserves, and cooking. Its unique flavour also makes it a favourite for making traditional fruit liqueurs and sauces.

This tree blooms in early spring with clusters of delicate white flowers, adding ornamental charm before the fruit develops. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardens and home orchards. While partially self-fertile, planting alongside another plum variety can enhance fruit production. The harvest season is typically in late summer to early autumn, providing a reliable and abundant yield of versatile plums.
