Description
This product cannot be shipped to California.
Blue Damson plum trees are one of the most popular old plum varieties in America. Yet they have become hard to find in local groceries, so more folks are deciding to grow their own trees from Willis Orchard's true to name stock. They are round to oblong in shape and have smooth, shiny, deep purple to black skin. The firm amber flesh is very tasty with a spicy, tart flavor. Blue Damson plums are great for fresh eating, cooking, jam, or making wine. The Damson Plum trees grow 12-15 feet tall, are self fertile, and require 600 chill hours.

Zones
USDA Hardiness Zones
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants. In some systems other statistics are included in the calculations. The original and most widely used system, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a rough guide for landscaping and gardening, defines 13 zones by long-term average annual extreme minimum temperatures. It has been adapted by and to other countries (such as Canada) in various forms. A plant may be described as "hardy to zone 10": this means that the plant can withstand a minimum temperature of −1.1 to 4.4 °C (30 to 40 °F).
