Plum ‘Merryweather Damson’

• Highly-productive

Every year you can look forward to well-furnished branches full of large, rich damsons, with attractive purple blooms on their skin. Enjoy eating straight from the tree or collecting a basket or two to reduce into jam for the autumn.

The rewarding variety offers you both flowers and fruit in abundance.
