The beginning of a mume

Here is a mume in November 2008 and Today.

I know... the pot is wrong.

I have alot of work on the ramification. This year it grew three times with two defoliation (I know...I'm a bad boy )

... and a nice beginning it is.

Can't wait to see it in bloom! I have a couple but have not defoliated, something to consider.

looking cool dude !

A photo assembly with a pot.

What do u think ?

Growth after one season, little work on the dead wood (need patina now),and in its new pot.

C&C are welcome.



I found the first pictures

In may 10/ 2007

Hello Penjing,

With the old, round pot, the tree looks very much better.

I think the colors in the pot compliment the colors in the trunk quite nicely.
Nice choice...

Love it and from such humble beginnings.

Thanks,

Soon, i will take a photo of the tree without its leaves. Mumes foliage is not too pretty

At this time of year the foliage of Mume is always awful.

Lovely development. I hope that you start getting a good show of flowers soon. Any idea what colour this one is? Mine has been very slow to start blooming - 12 years from seed!

This one is pink. I saw it in bloom.

very nice
did you think to dig deeper in the deadwood?
with more tiny details?

Nice drawing.
That's what i have in my mind.
Thanks alot

Beautiful work with the deadwood. I almost commented on the angularity of the first few photos, then lower down: beautiful carving.
