This is what is left of the six plums I picked from my damson tree this morning. It was an unexpected find. I was checking out my outside garden after my morning walk. The area beneath the damson tree was quite untidy and as I pulled out a few weeds I saw a bunch of the plums. I used to pick bags of the fruit from my old neighbour's garden in Alphington. Before she sold her house a few years ago she dug up a couple of young damson trees that had grown from suckers and these trees I planted in my outside garden. I saw some blossoms in spring and then nothing. Imagine my sheer delight when I saw the fruits. The fruit is tart but refreshing. Below is a picture of the tree. Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me when I made my discovery.
