Description
Plums and damsons are hardy fruit trees suitable for home gardens. Self‑pollinating varieties do not require a partner, making them ideal for single planting.
Care instructions
Full sun, lime‑rich soil. Perform a light pruning cut in summer. If infested with plum moths, use pheromone traps starting in May.
