Blue Damson Plum Tree

Blue Damson is a vigorous heirloom variety that produces lots of deep purple fruits that have a sweet-tart flavor. They are loaded with vitamin C and are great for cooking, preserving and eating fresh off the tree. The ornamental trees produce lots of clusters of pure white flowers in late spring that develop into ripe clingstone fruit in late summer to early fall. Blue Damson is self pollinating, but having another variety in the area improves yield. Standard trees grow 25-30' tall and 20-25' wide, and start bearing early.
