Hi 海上闻樵 !
I hope everything works well and we´ll see Your beautiful plum tree.
I really love these trees. Now I have several scions and cuttings in my workshop.
And I placed another two plums there to speed them up a bit.
Now I can smell 45 blossoms of Benichidori and 8 blossoms of a simple white one :-)

I can´t wait for Yours!

Finally succeeded.

Yes! Thank You :-)

Well done! You succeeded.

Is this photo taken recently? Will you get more flower on it this year?

Ah yes, worth the wait !
Serious case of zone envy.
Thanks for posting, hoping to see more.

Beautiful blossoms!
Which is this specific variety? These flowers remind me of chaenomeles (japanese quince).

Beautiful

This is a very nice Japanese Apricot (also known as Japanese Plum) Prunus mume .

Thank you, Kev!
May I ask one more question, please...
I have tried to find a prunus mume tree in Greece but it seems this species is almost unknown, so I have found prunus mume seeds on the internet (France)
Do you think it is worth while to start from seed? Which is the rate of mume growth (slow, fast)
Thank you!

Alexandra,

look at how long it can live. Amazing !! -

"Huangmei county (lit. "Yellow Mei") in Hubei features a 1,600-year-old mei tree from the Jin Dynasty which is still flowering."[ Wiki article.]

I think that you may struggle to keep this one alive in Greece. Despite their dainty appearance they take the cold of Japanese winter in their stride. Looking at a Europe plant hardiness zone map http://www.uk.gardenweb.com/forums/zones/hze.html I see it wil depend on where in Greece you are. Athens looks like zone 10 to me?

Hmm zone 10 plum tree - challenge - okay
