European Plum – Prunus domestica (Potted)

Description

Damson / European Plum, Prunus domestica, is a deciduous large shrub or tree. It can be seen growing in many old hedges in the country side. The Damson tree fruit, in my opinion, is very distinct from all of the other European Plum fruit. It is considerably smaller and as far as I know is always a deep purple/black colour when ripe. It is usually found growing in hedges around country cottages. European plums can be many different colours and is, in general, probably a bit sweeter and larger. It will grow in most sized gardens and does not mind heavy pruning occasionally in the winter. It will grow in most types of soil.
