Plums and Prunes, European and Damson
European plums, with a long history of cultivation, are one of the main plum species grown worldwide. Fruits are generally oval, smaller, and more variable in color than Japanese plums. European plum trees are larger and more erect than Japanese plums, and they bloom later - a distinct advantage in climates subject to spring frosts.
