Damsons
(24/01/2025) WE HAVE REMOVED ALL PLUMS AND RELATED TREES (DAMSONS, GAGES, MIRABELLES ETC) FROM AVAILABILITY, AS THE REMAINING TREES IN THE FIELD ARE MARGINAL. ONCE WE HAVE SUPPLIED OUR EXISTING ORDERS, WE WILL REVIEW IN MARCH AND IF THERE ARE STILL GOOD TREES REMAINING WE WILL RETURN SOME TO AVAILABILITY HERE.
Damson trees have been around in the UK for centuries and can be regarded as native in many parts. We have a selection of reliable hardy Damsons for sale that fruit into September, the heart of the fruit picking time.
All grown on moderate vigour St Julien A rootstock. They all have the advantage of being self fertile.
Discount information: 5% on 5+ trees, 10% on 10+ trees. Delivery cost: based on quantity ordered. See the How to Order page for more details.
Plum trees are dispatched between late November and late March when dormant.
You are welcome to order now. We will acknowledge your order and email you an Order Confirmation when we take payment in October or November, before being in contact to arrange delivery or collection through the dormant season. Orders placed well in advance will generally be supplied late November or December.
