My Kanko-bai bloomed. Three flowers. The smell they produce is something else.
For the love of Prunus mume...

Hey, I've been looking for mume but nothing on ebay like this. Would you happen to remember the sellers name?

Sure is the original listing but I have yet to see them post any others for sale.
Good luck in your hunt

This is a small group ( 22) of Matsubara Red / and Kobai cuttings from 2021. They are now settled into larger pots for development over the next few years! The pot size is 8 inch azalea style, terra cotta. The heat wave slowed their progress last summer 
but they are all beginning nice new growth this year. I find that Prunus Mume seem to do better with less frequent repotting so I typically use larger pots to make it easier to grow them for several years without the need to prune roots or change pots. I use the same approach for my Chojubai with good results. if you look real close and use your imagination one or two of the cuttings are exhibiting a small flower or two. I would expect several feet of extension with these cuttings this growing season. They will receive organic fertilizer and frequent watering. The yard in very free draining soil mix. Medium particle, APL and granite grit. Approximately 40 % Akadama, equal parts of Pumice, Black Lava and Granite Grit.

Well mine surprised me and finally flowered! Still unsure of the cultivar but what a great surprise when I returned from a long surveying work trip.

That’s awesome. You live in the same zone as me and mine has not even push leaf buds. Lol

Different cultivars flower at different times.

This tree came from the south and didn’t do anything as far as flowering until now. I believe it was acclimating.

Quick update pic on the "Omoi-no-mama" bud graft from last year. I up planted it into a 7gal squat. It's in full sun now and is starting to take off.
