Prunus insititia ‘Fairleigh Damson’ Tree (12-Litre Pot)

One of the heaviest cropping varieties, the Prunus insititia ‘Fairleigh Damson’ Tree is a star-performer that produces masses of deliciously tasty, blue almost black Damson fruit, to enjoy in a range of culinary dishes or eat straight from the tree. Try adding your fresh damsons to pies or preserves and enjoy a flavour that can only be experienced by growing your own.

In addition to its sublime tasting fruit, this tree grows masses of delightful white flowers that adorn the tree in spring to create an incredible display. These flowers not only look beautiful, but they are a great way to attract wildlife into your garden. This has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society who have added it to their Plants for Pollinators Collection.

The ‘Fairleigh Damson’ tree is an easy to grow variety with reliable and consistent growth, and good pest and disease resistance. This earned the tree the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society, so you have peace of mind that you will enjoy its wonderful fruits and ornamental appeal for many years to come.

This Damson Tree is available on Myrobalan rootstock, which is a semi-vigorous to vigorous rootstock. It is suitable for most soils and grows to an ultimate height of 4.5 metres in 10 years. The rootstock controls the rate of growth and ensures the tree fruits earlier than when grown on its own roots.
