Damsons normally thought of as more oval shaped. Above suggests it would normally be a bit early for either, but who knows this strange 'Autumn in August' Summer.
What I previously thought were damsons in previous years had a fuller deeper flavour than the bright fruitiness of other plums.
Strange about the late ripening. A lot of these were rotting on the tree. Delicious eaten fresh, damsons (in my limited experience) have always been a lot more bitter - more tannin. I read a decent article on the differences, will try to find it.
