Another P. Mume

[007]

Here's another Prunus Mume I've recently acquired. Here's the progression. There's an interim pic I can't find, but the first pic is from when I got the tree about two years ago. I repotted and pruned down pretty good into a manageable "bush" for lack of a better descriptor. Left it alone last year, got a few little white flowers that just dropped off and hence the heavy pruning.

This one has a HUGE nasty chunk of deadwood smack in the middl of the ideal front of the tree. I'm still not sure what to do with it yet.

Nice purchase! Telperion is awesome -- got one of my favorite Tridents from Chris. Extremely nice base! That will make an awesome tree.

Also, ume make for terrific jin subjects. ;-D

Very nice.

I'll probably trim it like this if this is mine.

Consider connecting the pruning scars and big snag of deadwood into one Shari on the front.
