About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The earliest damson in the range: ripe by mid to late July and therefore the opening of the season. It is self-fertile, tolerant of sharka and rather weak growing, well suited to small gardens or as an additional tree for the early harvest. The fruits are best eaten fresh, they do not keep for long.
Mildly sweet and juicy, with a smaller stone than the late varieties. A damson for nibbling in high summer, when the common damson is still a long way off.
