Product Description

Merryweather Damson Tree 4-5 ft, Self-Fertile & Heavy Cropping Very Tasty

 

 These are BARE ROOTED plants which can be planted from the end of October until April and will be dispatched as soon as the weather turns cold and they become dormant.The dispatch date depends on the Autumn temperature and varies from year to year.

 

Damsons are hardier forms of plum, making smaller robust trees that are often used for windbreaks or hedging

May also be trained on walls and grown as pyramids. Damsons will often crop heavily in soils and positions where larger plums fail, producing abundant rich fruits used for cooking or preserves. Most varieties are very similar and partially self-fertile, yielding well if planted on their own.

As with all trees from the prunus family, the leaves will start to appear autumnal and slightly shabby from mid June on wards. This is not a disease, but is mainly due to this years contrasting weather conditions and will not affect the performance of the tree.

 

Pollination:

Self-fertile

fruiting will usually be improved if there is a compatible partner

Pollinators:

Cambridge Gage, Czar, Mirabelle de Nancy, Opal, Victoria

    Damson Merryweather

    Posted by Mr C on 11th Nov 2023

    I was somewhat uneasy about buying in stock that I had not viewed and was offered at a competitive price. The ordering was simple with fast reply's to emails. Tree supplied had been grown with a lot of care, with a good straight graft union, excellent formative pruning carried out and well developed fibrous roots. The packing was some of the best I have seen on a bare rooted tree. Beechwood Trees have some skilled staff to produce this quality at the prices.

    Perfect little sapling

    Posted by Ian Hamilton on 3rd Nov 2021

    Arrived when promised. Pleasant courier, who rang bell and gave me tree personally. Tightly wrapped, with branches flat, but they quickly assumed their normal shape. Unwrapping was a delicate issue, care needed with scissors to avoid damage, which was successfully accomplished. Tree now successfully planted and watered. All being well will start to grow and blossom jn the spring. Looks great. Many thanks.

    The tree arrived promptly and very well parcelled up. It is a good, strong specimen, with no damage and a well-developed, healthy rootball. Excellent quality overall!
