Prunus insititia 'Merryweather Damson' is a vigorous, compact, spreading, deciduous damson tree with simple, green leaves, white spring flowers, and heavy crops of very large, blue-black fruits with juicy, acidic flavour, ripe in late summer. The fruits can be eaten fresh but are mostly used for culinary purposes, ideal for making jams and preserves. Attractive to birds and butterflies. Prunus insititia 'Merryweather Damson' grows best in neutral, moderately fertile, loamy, moist, well-drained soil in full sun. It needs some irrigation in dry periods. It can withstand cold and wet conditions and is very resistant to silver leaf disease. Low maintenance and easy to grow. Regular pruning required according to tree form. A self-fertile plant but for best crop it needs other pollinating varieties nearby. 'Merryweather Damson' is a traditional English damson and one of the most popular damson varieties. Apart from having tasty, juicy fruits, it can be good as a specimen tree in informal and cottage gardens.
