Merryweather damson

Qualitymark · 2012-08-12 15:58:41

Would anyone know where I'd get a merryweather damson tree? I'd like to replace the pear tree at the back of my garden with this (the pears are kind of woody).

Future Forests do that one - http://www.futureforests.net/br_fruit.htm

I bought a Farleigh from them at the beginning of the year and a few apple trees too and all are going great now, highly recommended.

Thanks! Have emailed them.

Apparently damson hedges are traditional in some parts of England! Presumably on dwarfing stock:
