Apricot flowers

Post by Andrew_Davies »

Hello all,

I have been bringing this apricot inside the last couple of nights, it fills the room with perfume.

The tree isn't much to look at, but the blooms are beautiful.

cheers,

Andy.

As you can see the rest of the tree is somewhat lacking. It is still very early in development, plenty of root work to do. One day.

(Sorry, I'm not sure how to rotate pictures.)

Absolutely excuisite mate...well done. I think of all the varieties of Prunus and there are many, this "has" to be one of the nicest. One of the mosty underrated varieties for bonsai if you asked me. ...more than a match for a Pine.

Nice Andrew and thanks for posting.
It looks like it has lots of movement in the lower trunk to use later on
