Blue Damson Plum Tree
The Blue Damson Plum Tree (Prunus insititia) is a beautiful and productive fruit tree that is known for its small, sweet-tart plums. It is a popular choice for home gardeners and commercial growers alike.
Blue Damson Plum Trees can grow up to 15-20 feet tall and 12-16 feet wide. They have a rounded habit and are covered in dark green leaves. In the spring, the tree produces clusters of small, white flowers. The flowers are followed by small, round plums that ripen in the late summer or early fall.
Blue Damson plums are typically eaten cooked, as they can be quite tart when eaten fresh. They are often used in jams, jellies, pies, and other desserts. Blue Damson plums are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and iron.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
