Plum Damson Dwarf

Damson Dwarf Plum

Damson Plum bears purple fruit with firm, tart flesh that clings to the stone. The fruit is especially useful for jam and jelly, with harvest generally in August. White flowers appear before the crop.

This self-fertile plum needs full sun and well-drained loam. Dwarf tree size depends on the rootstock; confirm it before choosing a planting location.
