Description
- A really productive tree which produces an abundance of large, plump damsons of the most amazing colour. A real showstopper when in fruit.
- Sweet, rich plums are usually used in cooking but can be eaten fresh when fully ripe
- RHS Award winner
- Late Harvest – September
- 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 Requires pollination by another plum, damson, mirabelle or gage tree within a mile’s radius. They need to flower at the same time. Plums in the same pollination group, or one either side, can pollinate each other. In built up areas it is unlikely that there won’t be a suitable pollination partner within a mileMORE
- 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
