Merryweather is a cross between a damson and a plum The round oval fruits have a deep blue skin and the flesh is green yellow juicy with a good flavour
Damsons are native to the UK and are often found in hedgerows They produce a small plum like fruit but they are sharper in flavour and best used to make jams and damson gin They can be used to make a windbreak around a garden or orchard They are all self fertile
Plums are sent from November until March as bare rooted one year old trees All varieties are self fertile unless stated They need a sheltered position protected from frost Plum trees are quite hardy but they flower early in the year so if you loose the flower to frost there will not be any fruit The soil needs to be rich and moisture retentive but not waterlogged A sunny position will help the fruit to ripen and become sweet Plums do not store so pick and eat or destone and freeze Many varieties are dual purpose so as well as being delicious to just eat they can be cooked to make pies crumbles jams and chutney
