Botanically, there is effectively damn-all difference, except that (in
the UK) we tend to use the word bullace for the wild form and damson
for the cultivated one. And are they native or introduced? Therein
hangs a question ....

Well, the fruit may be botanically similar, but tame damsons are often
grafted onto a rootstock with reduced suckering.
