Merryweather is a traditional English damson - a type of plum used for cooking purposes. The fruit can be eaten fresh if left to hang on the tree, but damsons really come into their own for culinary use, where they can substitute for plums yet have a distinctive rich flavour.

Merryweather is a clingstone fruit - the stone is not easily parted from the flesh.

Merryweather is hardy tree suitable for most climates, but is particularly well-adapted to the climates of north western Europe, and is productive even when summers are cool and cloudy.
