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.
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.

Keeping slivovice cold helps to reduce the effects of high proof or not ideal taste; however, the drink is not to be served on the rocks. The only accurate way to drink slivovice is a shot glass. To enjoy the aroma and taste of the original fruit it is better and more common to drink slivovice served at room temperature.
Many animals regularly visit mineral licks to consume clay, supplementing their diet with nutrients and minerals. In tropical bats, lick visitation is associated with a diet based on wild figs (), which have very low levels of sodium, [3] [4] and licks are mostly used by females that are pregnant or lactating.
