Small Somerset Damsons- What are they?
Hi,
I live in a house south of Bristol which was originally built on an orchard about 50 years ago. In the garden is an old tree which this year, has lot of small damsons/plums. I think someone once said they were for pollination (I think they began with an M). Does anybody know their name and if they are useful for making jam etc.? Thanks -- Peter Hemmings |

Does anybody know their name and if they are useful for making jam etc.? Damsons make super jam, and excellent home made wine.

Small Somerset Damsons- What are they?
The only thing I can think of like small plums is the old fashioned
'Bullace' tree. Used a lot many years ago for jams and such like. Hope this is of some help. Helen |

I will give it a go but it might take some time to de-stone them! John Thanks for your time -- Peter Hemmings |
