Description

  • The juicy, acidic nature of this Damson makes it perfect for cooking, sauces and preserves
  • Fruits can also be eaten fresh when ripe and carry a tangy, mildly sweet flavour
  • The fruits are unusually large and plump, really quite a spectacle on the tree
  • Late harvest – September
  • Good disease resistance
  • Max size H4m x W4m – SJA Rootstock Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE
  • Self fertile (Pollination Group 3) – will produce good crops without pollination
  • Damsons can take up to 10-15 years to start producing substantial crops, so you should be prepared for a little wait
  • Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
  • Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
  • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
