Hello peter,
lookin' good!
massive short trunk with some movement.
Could you do the moss away so we maybe could see more of the nebari? And maybe you could make pictures of the other sides?

Best regards,
Yannick

Hello Peter
great little tree do you know the colour of the flowers?

Why do you waste your time with such silly little trees Peter?? You know it would look better on my benches

Having seen this tree first hand (and not having it donated to the House of Monkey) it's a little stunner and with this and the Mugo I'm begining to get very green with envy. Do keep us posted with the progress and I agree with Yanick, lose the moss, it won't help you long term.

Until the next time we meet my friend,
Love, Peace & Bananas,
Simon

Looks very good Peter. Branches placed well, and very good taper. I think you have to remove the deadwood completely to heal the wound over time, or hollow it out and carve it so it look more natural (Personally I prefer the deadwood solution). I think a Kevin Wilson deadwood-style-carving will justify it.

Regards
Morten

Hi Peter

You know you have buyers protection you can return, please, please.

Kind regards Yvonne

I like this species very much. I had one but it died after winter. I had it for 4yrs. It looks verry good and it blooms sweet.

Peter

You have LUCKED OUT on a very nice tree!!!!! great trunk and good branch placement..i am sure you are pleased...Yvonne must be sorry to sell it...my opion is to not have dead wood on this tree,,hollow it out..i think it would compete with the flowers when they come..my opion only you got a really good tree...please show it in flower....take care john

Here's what you have to look forward to!

Dear John

NO....the flower is only single.

Kind regards Yvonne

Interesting, both of mine are double like this. Well, they will smell just as nice!

I think that this part is dead alredy so the hollow can be a quite big.

Yes John, it smell very nice.

Hi Bolas, this part is very much alive, and have good roots under.

Kind regards Yvonne

Hi Bolas

Your design-idea is not bad at all, it could be cool. I did not think about that.
I will be interesting to see what Peter wants to do with the tree....I have never seen prunus mume flowers in this collour, are they mume?.
( I like your dog)

Kind regards Yvonne

Yes it was mume:

mmm, Nice

Spring is finnaly around the corner here, did some repotting today.
As you can see the prunus got a new pot, please come with remarks and ideas.
Witch front you like the most? I for one think the first picture is a nice front, the nebari incredible.
Peter

Great tree wish You & Yvonne are near...Envy envy

Your friend,
Alex

Hi Peter
