Damsons - an introduction

Available as 'maidens' bare rooted when dormant. 'Maidens' are one year trees and in the case of plums and damsons can be well over 2m tall. Depending on the variety they may or may not have branching.

The Damsons are self fertile and are good pollinators of other plums & damsons. Each variety has a flowering period between A - early and E - late. A variety can be pollinated by another of the same flowering group or one to either side.

Trees will not be dispatched until late November when dormant. However you are welcome to order now, we will then reserve for you and be in contact in November to arrange delivery. We will not debit youir card until October.
