ume

Does anyone know where I could get my hands on an Ume in the US? I've checked places like Evergreengardenworks, but seems most people have had trouble getting the stock. Not necessarily looking for the most developed specimens but any sources would help

Hi all, I'd love to sign up for the contest with this cutting of Prunus Mume. I purchsed it for 7.99 Euros few months ago (possibly May?). It's just been potted from a plastic container into this clay one, hasn't received any style whatsoever, yet.

Found this today: Interesting approach on getting sharp bends.

So I’m seriously working with Prunus mume, currently working with 22 cultivars. I’m doing some personal research on the best rootstock for grafting onto as well as which cultivars will root best by cuttings. Here’s a quick look on grafting a bud onto rootstock. If this bud survives and joins the...

Hello everyone, I have a question that maybe the community here can help me figuring out. I realised that the nebari of my prunus mume -which I thought it was just one solid piece- is actually made by two separate "units" (I don't know either calling them trunks or roots). Here's a photo of...

@Brian Van Fleet kindly provided a comprehensive calendar for Prunus Mume care, as follows: NORTHERN HEMISPHERE Winter: DECEMBER - Prune lightly to a good shape for the flowers. - Carefully wire it if needed. Don’t wire if there is a chance you will knock off flower or leaf buds, they’re...

The story is I was never really convinced this Ume could stay the way it was when I got it. Many of you helped me out with good suggestions last year, unfortunately airlayering it is out of question as it is almost impossible with Prunus. So today I woke up decided to chop it down (it's winter...

My Ume after flowering beautifully last winter had a very fast growth rate in Spring. Now it's middle of the summer in the Southern hemisphere and its leaves are curling and some (not all) are showing holes, like insect bites. It's on a bench, outside with other bonsai and none show the same...

These are my new year additions and it has just been truly something else watching these bloom. I got the two pink umes from older club memebers and the little cuttings from a club raffle. The pink ones dont know what variety they are but they are around 25 years old or more they belonged to...

Hello if anyone has different varieties of ume or maybe some cuttings I would love to find more. I have some but they still need work. I have one that I was told flowers pink ( the one my dog chewed the tip). The little group was told they are Omoi no Mame. Thank you for any advice or info. The...

Hello all I am fairly new to bonsai. My dad has been doing it for some years but about 8 months ago i decided to go all in. My trees still need lots of work. I think i got some decent material but I hope you guys could tell me your honest opinion. I have crapapple,ume,shimpaku varieties include...

I have quite a few wild plums. Here are some recent pics of two of them including a new air layer from this season.

Usuiro chirmen I picked up from Brent a year ago. I planted it on a tile just fed it over this last season. I tried searching but couldn't find much on chop times and the response to same. I thought BVF had one he was growing out but can't find it. I know mine is not ready for that yet as the...
