I see where you get the "Fred tree" nicely done Judy...nicely done!

 

[Dav4]

Got the pot specifically for the tree. For me, it's a perfect fit. What would you see it in??

I'm gonna have to wait another 6 weeks or so and see it when it's in flower before commenting.

I hadn't thought about the flower color actually! Should be fun to see. Probably longer than 6 weeks, don't you think? I'm not even sure when they flower here. I'll have to watch it.

The flowers on this ume are slowly starting to swell, looks like these flowers will have some pink, can't wait to see them open.

Here you go. I got this tree last summer so this is the first time I'm seeing it bloom. It's an awesome reminder that spring will come. We have had a lot of snow this year and I'm tired of seeing white.

 

[JudyB]

Funny, I'm just finally getting some white, (snow) and am pretty happy to be seeing it. I like your ume very much and the color is very nice. It must be cool to see it for the first time. Nice trunk!

 

[JudyB]

Getting very very close...

 

[leatherback]

Getting very very close.

Oh will you stop already? how dare you, making all of us very very jealous!
