Prunus domestica 'Damascus'
Prunus domestica ‘Damas’, also known as 'Damas' plum tree, is an old, hardy variety particularly suited to traditional orchards and heritage gardens in Quebec. Appreciated for its small purple plums with yellow-green flesh and a sweet and tangy flavor, this plum tree offers abundant harvests in late summer. Its naturally rounded habit and white spring blossoms also make it a decorative and useful tree, attracting pollinating insects to the garden. Very hardy, 'Damas' is self-sterile and requires a compatible variety to fruit fully. It adapts well to well-drained, fertile, or slightly clayey soils, and enjoys a sunny exposure. Undemanding, reliable, and flavorful, the 'Damas' plum tree is suitable for fresh fruit lovers as well as for preserves and jams, while adding a valuable heritage touch to edible landscapes.
