Flowering Plum
Flowers this year have been fantastic, thought I would share. The lower right needs to thicken and fill out, main focus for the season.

Hi Craig
Beautiful tree there, love the taper. Thats a great combo with the pot. How did you photograph it ( settings, lighting etc)

Re: Flowering Plum
Thanks all, was quite chuffed with the pictures, didn't require much really. Black sheet, two helpers and mobile phone. Placed against wall short distance away to avoid shadow, turned all the lights on in the room, taken without flash. The challenge then became who can take a better photo and with which device
The pot I purchased with the tree a couple years back, owner at the time was raising funds for a wedding. Tree was originally planted in a plain round container.
