The damson is broadly similar to the semi-wild bullace, also classified as ssp. insititia, which is a smaller but invariably round plum with purple or yellowish-green skin. Damsons generally have a deeply furrowed stone, unlike bullaces, and unlike prunes cannot be successfully dried. [22]
Unlike nearly all damsons, bullaces may be either "white" (i.e. yellow or green) or "black" (i.e. blue or purple) in colour, and ripen up to six weeks later in the year. [3] Though smaller than most damsons, bullaces are much larger than the closely related sloe. [3] Their flavour is usually rather acidic until fully ripe.
Greengage fruit are identified by their round-oval shape and smooth-textured, pale green flesh; they are on average smaller than round plums but larger than mirabelle plums—usually between 2 and 4 centimetres (1 and 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) diameter.
The scents of wild plum are dominant, while herbal and bitter almond notes are always present. The wild plum scents are naturally explained by the fruit's morphology ( proportion of kernel to flesh) while the herbal scents probably come from the fact that the fruit is gathered only after having fallen on the ground.

The species' hybrid parentage was believed to be Prunus spinosa and P. cerasifera; [4] [5] however, recent cytogenetic evidence seem to implicate 2×, 4×, 6× [a] P. cerasifera as the sole wild stock from which the cultivated 6× P. domestica could have evolved.
The fruit's taste has been compared to a combination of banana and passionfruit, [9] cucumber and zucchini [4] or a combination of banana, cucumber and lime. [10] A small amount of salt or sugar can increase the flavor, but the seed content can make eating the fruit less convenient than many common fruits.
While many variety of animals have become extinct like the Northern Sumatran rhinoceros, the protection of large animals have been addressed. The Vietnamese Javan rhinoceros used to live throughout the region of Vietnam but was declared extinct in 2010 when the last remaining individual was found dead with the horn removed.
