Prunus domestica (Damson Plum)

Due to import restrictions, we are unable to ship Damson Plums to California, Washington, and Europe.

Damson trees are naturally compact, growing 8-12 feet in height. Native to Europe, these plums are cherished for their use in jellies and jams, a tradition many children in the U.S. grow up with. Plant them in a 10-foot circle, in USDA hardiness Zones 4-8.
