Plum, Damson

$25.00 – $40.00

Prunus domestica subsp. insititia

The Damson plum was cultivated in ancient Greece. It produces an oblong, purple, and extremely sweet fruit. The high sugar content makes it ideal for making dates. It requires 600-800 chill hours. Should be pruned in spring or summer, not winter (to avoid silver leaf disease).
