Show off your Prunus Flowers 2024

[TimS]

Thought i might open up a thread for people to post their flowering prunus' into for the winter/ spring season. Ume, cherry, plum, apricot and whatever other prunus you have from garden tree to bonsai is welcome

Mine are all garden trees or little baby plants, not actual bonsai but they're all beautiful none the less


So show off your prunus!

Pink flowers popping on an ume air layer I took last year. Eagerly awaiting leaves to drive more root growth.

Beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Beautiful doubles SuperBonSaiyan and PeachSlices, but it is hard to beat the elegance of the singles. Great range of shades.
Buds only just cracking here in the cold country, but the orchids inside have been glorious and new ones are continuing to come out. Smells like spring today.

Not a bonsai but my almond tree. With the attention the flowers get from the cockies I doubt if there will be many nuts this year!

This is a wild plum dug quite a few years ago on a dig organised by the Goulburn Bonsai Society.
It has red leaves and single white flowers and later will have red fruit.
It is a thrill to eat fruit off your bonsai but you need to be tough, it is very very sour, trust me!

I was pretty surprised to see while I was up looking over my trees this afternoon I had something to contribute to this thread!
It's a rare find a prunus flower at my joint, but they do exist!
Prunus Elvins.

Flowering almond a WIP for a forest…

I suspect that 'flowering almond' is Prunus glandulosa AKA Dwarf Flowering Almond. Comes in white or pink, both have those amazing double 'pompom' flowers.
It grows as a multi trunk shrub with lots of stems that never thicken more than around finger thick.

Not sure that a bonsai forest will be a walk in the park though. I spend heaps of time cutting off unwanted new suckers and I can't get the stems to make decent branches.

Mine are close but not yet open.
