Prunus domestica 'Damson' is a traditional plum tree renowned for its small, ovoid plums with dark blue skin and firm, juicy, and very tart greenish-yellow flesh, making them particularly suitable for processing. These fruits, rich in pectin and flavor, are ideal for jams, jellies, sauces, preserves, and culinary preparations such as chutneys. The 'Damson' plum tree is generally self-fertile, producing reliably even in the absence of other pollinating varieties, making it an excellent choice for small gardens. It also stands out for its good disease tolerance and frost-resistant spring flowering. Hardy, vigorous, and easy to care for, the 'Damson' is a must-have variety for lovers of processing plums with an intense, authentic flavor.
