Sweet Damson
£19.50Availability: In stockOut of stock
How can a damson be sweet? It sounds like an antithesis! Maybe called a damson because of the small fruit size – no more than 25mm/1″ across. Elliptical in shape, the dark purple skin has sweet greenish yellow flesh beneath. Stone partially clings when ripe from late August / early September. Arose in Gloucestershire and grown much along the lower Severn in the recent past.
