I should really put these flowering bonsai into the thread that Ken has started on spring flowers but of course I think that "plums" need their own place to be appreciated.

Nice. They make good trees and their flowers last well. Underated I think.

Hi all,

Does this prunus have fragrant flowers and are they small flowers as well ? - I have always wanted one.

Thanks,

Brad75.

Yeah, agreed, they look so stunning in flower with such delicate and petite flowers. I have Prunus Elvins, but I need to maybe try a few other varieties. Elvins is great material to use. Buds right back from the trunk, and responds well to anything.

This is its sister - I dug them at the same time. These are both greengage plums and they fruit very well. Its a real treat to eat a fruit off your bonsai.

This is another one that is in development. Just a few flowers right at the top.

Beautiful watto!

Great trees!
Love the group/clump.
I assume a more central pot location in time?

All amazing trees Watto. Great shallow pots also, well done.

I imagine it would be a unique feeling eating fruit from your bonsai.

I don't have any plans to move the planting position of the triple trunk in the near future as I like the "off-set" look. The right hand side as you look at it needs a trim to bring it back into shape and that will happen after flowering is over.
Like all flowering bonsai I think we enjoy the flowers and then we try to regain control of the growth patterns.
Anyway, here is another one that has only a few flowers (its new to bonsai as well) and it has the standard red plums.

Mushrooms are nice on toast!

Hi Watto,
Good looking trees you have going there. Luv the triple and the movement of the little one. Also, I do like the pots you have access to.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers

Holly Shishkabob...

That is beautiful. My favourite

Thanks for the kind comments. The next lot of photos will be when they are in fruit.

By the way, I love that pot. What pot is that, the one with 'just a few flowers right at the top'.

I do love a good pot!
That pot is a hand made one off pot by Australian potter Janet Selby. She is a Sydney potter who will have a table at the Sydney show in early October so if you are keen, there is an opportunity.
