Prunus domestica subsp. insititia var. syriaca
Shepherd's Bullace
The bullace is a variety of plum, with fruit that are similar to damsons, but, unlike damsons, the fruit may be "white" (yellow or green), or "black" (purple), and are smaller than damsons. They are very acid until fully ripe - up to six weeks later than prunus domestica. Prunus domestica ssp. insititia var. syriaca is a "white" (yellow-green) variety

Flowering
From Late Winter TO Mid Spring
Although plum trees are frost hardy, the flowers - essential for fruiting - are very susceptible to frost. If frost is threatened during the flowering period, protect the flowers with horticultural fleece.
Planting
From Late Autumn TO Mid Winter
Plant plum trees in the dormant season, in a sheltered position where the tree will get plenty of sunshine. Dig a large hole, and put a good amount of organic material in the bottom of the hole to help with drainage.
