Prunus domestica 'Damson'

Prunus insititia 'Prune Damson' is a vigorous yet neatly growing cultivar, known for its large, oval fruits that exhibit a deep blue-black hue. This self-fertile variety, a traditional hedgerow tree native to 17th-century Shropshire, is particularly well-suited to smaller gardens due to its compact growth habit.

The fruits of the 'Prune Damson' are distinguished by their uniquely astringent, rich flavour, which encases juicy green-yellow flesh. These qualities make the fruit ideal for crafting exceptional jams and preserves. This cultivar is a regular and generous cropper, with the harvest typically ready for picking in late August.

'Prune Damson' flowers late, between April and May, ensuring that it often escapes the damage of spring frosts. It thrives in full sun and prefers moderately fertile, moist, and well-drained soil. This cultivar is not only a reliable producer but also adds ornamental value to the garden with its attractive growth and fruiting qualities.
