We are pleased to introduce to our range this new variety of Damson.
Blue Violet lives up to it’s name with beautiful dusky blue fruits which are larger and sweeter than traditional Damsons. Ready for use from early September, the juicy greenish flesh makes wonderful jams, pastries, crumbles and also freezes well. Blue Violet is self fertile, hardy, compact and easy to grow.
Crops have been consistently good and the fruits need less sugar than tradiitonal types yet retain the wonerful true Damson flavour that is so treasured by those who know.
We currently have this variety available on ‘Pixy’ rootstock which is an easy to manage tree for smaller gardens or containers. Other tree options for this variety will follow in the Autumn.
Sending a tree through the post isn’t easy, so our parcels are expertly packed to keep your goods in the best condition. There is no surcharge on the delivery of larger parcels/orders.
Tree size as supplied varies but is usually between 3.5′ – 4.5′ on despatch. A few varieties might be slightly smaller, some a little bigger, of course it does vary but this is a good average. WE SUPPLY YOUNG TREES – and are proud to do so. Although we are sometimes requested to supply older/bigger trees, the perceived advantages are outweighed by disadvantages! Older trees take longer to establish and will fruit no more quickly. The young trees we send out grow away and establish so quickly and healthily & often yield within 1 season of planting. Our customers even report fruits the first year of planting! All professional fruit growers prefer to plant young trees rather than older.
Our soft fruit bushes are usually 2 years old.
Everything is stringently graded, grown on the nursery and well packed!
