Damson 'Merryweather' Omdömen

Highly productive and self-fertile variety Produces fruit even on young trees Large, richly flavoured damsons with purple bloom Hardy and compact - ideal for UK gardens Damson trees are a must for any fruit grower, and this reliable, self-fertile variety delivers generous crops year after year. Even young trees fruit heavily, producing large, richly flavoured damsons covered in a distinctive purple bloom. Perfect for eating fresh, baking, or simmering down into rich autumn jams and preserves. From April, the tree bursts into a canopy of white blossom that not only looks beautiful but also draws in pollinators like bees, helping nearby crops such as strawberries and tomatoes.
