Plum Damson

Plum Damson is renowned for its culinary versatility and robust, tart flavor, making it a favorite for jams, jellies, and preserves. This hardy tree produces small, blue-black plums with a distinctively astringent taste ideal for cooking and baking. It features a compact growth habit, which allows it to fit well in smaller gardens or spaces where a full-sized fruit tree might be too large.

Adaptable to a variety of garden styles, from rustic cottage settings to more structured orchard rows, the Plum Damson thrives in full sun locations with well-drained soil. It is self-fertile, meaning it does not require a pollinator to produce fruit, although fruiting can be enhanced with a companion. For best growth and fruit production, trees should be spaced approximately 3-4m apart. Damson grows to a height of about 6m with a spread of 3m. Great for colder climates.
