In fruit growing areas damsons have traditionally been planted as
standards in hedges and left to their own devices. They may benefit from
more active care, I don't know, but leaving them alone seems a perfectly
viable option.

Hi all, i am moving to a new house that has two Damson trees,can anyone
offer any advise or info on these/good websites.


Just enjoy. You have a wonderful source of fruit for the very best of
jams. Just wait and collect the fruit, (I put a net out under the
tree to do so). You'll find recipes on the internet. The tree itself
can be a bit 'untidy', but dont worry the birds love it. Late summer
you'll find masses of butterflys grazing on the fruit as they fall.
Its a realy nice tree to have, do nothing with it and enjoy.

Nobody seems to bother with the damsons in the Leith Valley, except to
harvest the fruit at the appropriate season.
