Hi,
I live in a house south of Bristol which was originally built on an
orchard about 50 years ago.
In the garden is an old tree which this year, has lot of small
damsons/plums.
I think someone once said they were for pollination (I think they began
with an M).


"Merryweather" would fit.

Does anybody know their name and if they are useful for making jam etc.?


Damsons make super jam, and excellent home made wine.
