Damsons are closely related to plums, but are usually much smaller and less sweet-tasting. Although quite tart to eat, they're a valuable ingredient for making jam and incorporating in a range of desserts, which is why many gardeners choose to grow them in their yards.
As with all fruit trees, it can be quite disheartening when your damson tree isn't bountiful. This is especially true when you have spent time nurturing and caring for your tree all year, just for the fruiting season to lack a harvest. The good news, however, is that just like getting a plum tree to fruit, there are a few things you can do to get a damson tree to fruit.
