Damson

Damsons, with their richly astringent flavour, are peculiar to the UK and are easily grown in most situations. Damson trees originate from the native plum, Prunus insititia. Sloe or Blackthorn damsons appear in our hedgerows in Prunus spinosa which is widely planted in Europe.

All varieties are self-fertile, so, therefore, don’t need a pollination partner. We grow damson trees on a range of rootstocks from semi-dwarf to very vigorous.

The delicious fruits are so versatile, being used for gin, beer, wine, vinegar, jam, cheese, jelly, and even chocolate! Some varieties can be eaten fresh. Damson fruits are ready for picking from late August to mid-September.
