Blue Damson Plum 5g

The Blue Damson plum, a Middle Eastern variety, is considered the ancestor of the plums we enjoy today. Known for its small, blue-black fruit with a tart flavor, it has been prized for centuries, especially for making jams, jellies, and chutneys. When cooked, the Blue Damson plum develops a distinctive tartness and spiciness, making it perfect for preserves.

These trees are cold-hardy, bear heavily, and are dependable and self-fruitful, making them an excellent choice for home gardeners. While Blue Damson plums have seen a resurgence in popularity, they are still relatively rare at farmers' markets. The trees themselves are compact, ideal for smaller gardens, and continue to be a favorite for those looking to create delicious preserves.
