Planting & Care

A highly productive tree, yielding heavy crops of large, vibrant damsons.
These sweet, flavourful damsons are delicious eaten fresh and ideal for cooking and jams.
Proud recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Harvest your crop in late season, around September.
Self-fertile, but planting with another plum, damson, or gage from a similar pollination group will improve your crop.

Species: Prunus domestica (Plum)
Features: Heavy cropper, Heritage variety, Self-fertile
Flowering Time: April - May
Harvest Time: September
Pollination Group: 3
Taste: Juicy and tart with a rich flavour
Uses: Eating fresh, cooking, making jams
Position: Full sun
Eventual Spread: 3m
Hardiness: Hardy
Soil: Prefers well-drained, loamy soil.

Planting: Plant year-round. Bare root trees are best planted during the dormant season from November to March.
Pollination: This variety is self-fertile but will produce a heavier crop if a pollination partner is nearby. It can be pollinated by other plums, damsons, or gages in pollination groups 2, 3, or 4.
Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to ensure your tree maintains a productive shape, which can improve yields and prevent disease.
Soil Care: Thrives in well-drained, loamy soils. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but may struggle in poorly draining soil.
Frost: While the tree is hardy, late frosts can damage flowers, which will reduce the fruit yield for that year. This will not cause lasting damage to the tree.
Pest & Disease: Shows good resistance to common pests and diseases. Wash away aphids and caterpillars with soapy water. Use netting or bird scarers to protect fruit from birds. Reduce the risk of bacterial canker by pruning to improve airflow and removing rotting organic matter.
