Late August and September in the UK. You are best finding a local grower or someone in a Farmers' Market, if you can, otherwise you will pay over the odds in Sainsbury's or Waitrose.

Next month you should find plenty on markets stalls or in the shops. I made some damson jam last year, which was okay, but I forgot that they have a high pectin content and added far too much sugar. I like my damson jam to have an element of tartiness about it.
I have never been able to buy damsons in Scotland but managed to get some whilst visiting Blackpool last year.

I have loads of damson trees on my ranch in Poland.
I reckon two more weeks and they will be ripe.
UK is normally a couple weeks ahead of us
Weather is so crazy that it could be anytime anywhere
