Totally agree...been halfway looking for an old Chinese Namako or dark blue oval or fluted round.

Pruned back to the first viable bud, and did a little carving on a soft spot on the top of the trunk.

well this thread pushed me to getting some seeds beacuse I couldn't find any in Chile... there are a ton of different prunus down here, so hopefully these do well.

I like that the depth of field is shallow enough for the background to be blurred

Really nice tree, I really like all the umes being shown lately. Developing a craving...

Love the tree Brian, and I like the look of the toned down deadwood. It works very well.

First blooms opening. Right on schedule.

so exciting! Don't know why everyone doesn't have these trees, it's such a nice thing for the winter doldrums...

I've been trying to find some, but I can't seem to find any. Might have to resort to eBay or online
