Prunus mume 'Beni-chidori'

beautiful..

This little tree survived having a large ash tree branch landing on it and bending it double! :-)))

oooh thats harsh,tough little thing then, i would be giving it some t.l.c, since getting my greenhouse weeks ago i am getting obsessed and its all taking over me i will be talking to my plants before long im sure lol :o))

Wow Spritz How beautiful is that......What a gorgeous pink

Your little tree is gorgeous Spritz...I love this colour.

It is lovely, thanks Milky and Motinot. :-))

Joanella, when we got the ash branch off it, only two little pieces had to be pruned off! I was amazed...I think it was because it was only a year old then, so the 'trunk' was still flexible.

gosh that was lucky bet you were scared to look..

I was VERY upset at seeing it - I thought the prunus was finished for good. I was very relieved to see it relatively undamaged! :-)))

:o))

Beautiful, Spritz, stunning colour.

How lucky your little tree wasn't damaged , I think I would have been in tears , it's so beautiful ....

Who says I wasn't, Amy? lol.

Very handsome and scented too I believe. :-)

Grogeous prunus bloom color. Very rich. So glad it survived being clobbered on the head! Probably be a good year, feeling like it could get through anything. lol!

It is very pretty....and scented too?.....

Oh dear - I'll try to remember to stick my nose in it on the way out with H. this morning!

What a lovely little tree - another one to tempt me!

Wish-list at the ready? lol.

Too heavy to cart around now, Spritz! LOL

LOL....

I did sniff it this morning - couldn't sense any scent, though. It was a bit damp and blowy out there, though.

Lovely little tree with such pretty blossom!

It is one to enjoy, Pp. Different, with its deep pink colour. :-))

lovely barbara :o)

Beautiful tree.

Thanks, Sandra. It flowers early, which is another bonus.:-)

Thanks, Pam - it's still only a baby, but it doesn't get huge anyway!

definitely spring has sprung. :o))

Yes!! :-)))

Beautiful tree........

Glad everyone approves - I have to admit that it was an impulse buy at a Nursery where I went for something else - then I had to persuade OH that it 'could' be fitted in! :-)))

As you do.........!!

We had to remove a circle of grass and dig, but it did fit in well. It wasn't one of my 'shoehorn' efforts! Now that makes a change. :-))

I love this one, mine's in bloom now too, always look forward to it :)

How nice to hear that you've got one as well, Grindle! It's a lovely colour, isn't it. How long has yours been in?

I love it for it's early blossom, and it really stands out in the garden at this time of year, the one I have is about 5 years old, I brought it with me from my other garden as it was small enough to move, it's standing about 5ft tall now.

A bit bigger than mine, then. Well, a little bit! :-))

how tall will it get?

Not much bigger, Sticki - maybe 6 -7'.

its like a japanese painting ~ i think its one of the most beautiful i have seen for a long time.
thanks spritz ~ ive put it on my favourites

Thanks, Sticki. I expect it has been painted - look at its name! :-)
