This sounds like a damson to me, it is part of the prunus family the same as a sloe. Great for gin and jam.

Hi Rachel – yes, blackthorns produce sloes. See a recipe for sloe gin at http://www.woodlands.co.uk/blog/wild-food/sloe-gin/

We have what we think might a Blackthorn tree maybe about 20ft high in our garden. It has vicious thorns (some at least four inches long), small oval shaped leaves, and it has a few plum-like fruit, which are a purplish red colour. However the fruit are not sour tasting, acting quite bland. They are soft, so probably ripe. Is it a Blackthorn/Sloe? Does anyone know? I’d quite like to make sloe gin so am hopefull!

I am a local community health officer working with community groups within the west midlands area and would like to attend some courses on wild hedgerow foods and harvesting food for free ! from the wild ie fish and meat and want to know if there is some one who could teach me the basics in this type of thing that I can then pass on to others to get folk more interested in the food around them !
We live in a town environment but are surrounded by countryside so……….any help you could give me or contacts would be great ! Nig
