Flowering Apricot - Prunus Mume

Post by astroboy76 »

Hey Peeps,

I dont get on here as often as i used too, or as often as i would like, but thought i would share my latest two scores.

Both are Flowering apricots (just about to bloom). One is double white, the other double pink. they both stand about 2 foot tall. Very excited about adding these to my collection

Hard to make out without profile side shots, but that last pic looks like stunning material there. Nice :shock:

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Magic trunkline & nice old bark on the second, it will be a treat with continued development :tu:
