Default I have a small Damson - but whats its name ???

The normal colour is very dark, not really as the photo shows.

The stone is plum type (not a round sloe type) and is clinging.


There were a zillion local varieties of damson until fairly recently,
and all that stone demonstrates is that it is likely to be one (i.e.
a Prunus domestica of the damson type).
