I have a white bullace, and some Prunus spinosa, the sloe plum, if that would help.  P. spinosa is one of the parent species of P. insititia, and P. domestica.  Quite small, very intense and astringent until it has hung on the tree for a very long time.  The "tree" is a shrubby thing, really not much more than a large bush about 10 feet tall.

Chuck,
    If you don't get any reply on this, you might look see if you can find some company that sells tree seeds that has them.  Of course, you can't get them from any European company due to Plum Pox. 
    Really, the bullace and the damson are considered to be the same except for shape of fruit.  True, I saw bullace wild in hedgerows in England but not damson.  But they will taste very similar and the trees will be very similar.  Why exactly are you wanting bullace?     Donna_______________________________________________
