Plum Damson Y M-L

Plum ‘Damson’, commonly known as Damson Plum, is a traditional and much-loved variety renowned for its small to medium, dark purple-blue fruit with golden-yellow flesh. It has a distinctive rich, tangy flavor, making it highly prized for cooking, preserving, and especially for making jams and chutneys. While the fruit is tart when eaten fresh, its complex taste shines in baked dishes and preserves.

The Damson Plum tree is a hardy and reliable performer, thriving in sunny, well-drained soil. In early spring, it produces a profusion of white blossoms, followed by a heavy crop of plums in mid to late season. Its ornamental spring display and productive harvest make it a valuable choice for both home gardens and orchards.
