Hi
I just wanted to share with you one of my flowering plum. Air layered two years ago and had one full season of growth last yr.
It woke up and flowered earlier than the parent which is even more spectacular.
Hope you enjoy it.
This one will be put back into the ground to thicken and mature as well as to heal some of the larger cuts.
Current trunk thickness is around 3cm.

Re: The reason I love flowering plums
Hi Watto
I am not sure what sort it is. I am not even sure if it is a true plum but the leaf look very much like one.
When it leafs out, I will take another photo. Maybe someone can ID it then.

Hi Watto
I looked it up. If I am not wrong, it should be a Prunus triloba.

Re: The reason I love flowering plums
Thanks for the info Dennis. Being a "flowering almond" certainly is interesting. I will look forward to a post flower photo or two?
