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.







We have in place very rigorous standards for the health,
providence and uniformity of all our fruiting plants & trees. Our Nursery and the stock we grow is
inspected and passported for health regularly by DEFRA experts [formerly the Ministry of Agriculture]
and we have in place our own stringent controls and inspection programmes to ensure our fruiting
bushes and trees are the best, most disease free stocks available and truly beyond compare.
We always propagate from certified stock where this exists and have the highest standards regarding providence
and grading. If only the very best will do – as it should – then you can rely on a Chris Bowers fruiting
plant to give the most exemplary results available. We firmly believe that only the very healthiest
stock can and does produce vastly superior results – and it shows.
