About the Damson :
The Damson plum has a small, oval fruit, and is
good for canning. The dark purple skin covers the
golden yellow flesh. It has a spicy, tart flavour.
Damsons are used for cooking, jam & wine making. A
hardy, tree, largely untroubled by pests and
diseases. Damsons succeed where most plums would
fail.
They are semi-shade tolerant and they grow to
12-14 ft. They make good windbreaks and hedges,
though they are not likely to fruit well if they are
very exposed. Damsons are mostly self-fertile and
cross-pollinate with plums.

Please note:
Your region's climate determines the type of fruit
trees and fruit that will grow successfully. The
climate must be compatible with the growing
requirements of the selected fruit tree. Some
varieties will even prevail in the harsher Upper
Midwest climates. Most fruit trees require between
130 - 150 frost-free days. If you are unsure as to
how many frost-free days your climate has, please
contact your local county extension office |
