Those are very nice, wow. Love the color of the red one.
If they were mine, for this year, your first year with them, I'd let them grow.

They are more than a year.. I took them from my father.. He had umes for awhile, I think since late 80s to early 90s. He said they are about 8 yrs (grafted) Hope I don't kill them.

I honestly don't know the Identification in English (only know the Japanese ID) of the dark pink/red and the light pink ume. Any ideas? Here are the closer shot of the flowers.

I love them. I hope you don't kill them either! They are, and will be, beautiful. I need to get hold of one to try myself.

Would imagine the best direction...would come from your father. Who understands your climate and their needs.that white with pink bloom...oh my!

I doubt he can help with the English translation (he can't really communicate in English)...google translator sucks too...I was looking at the list of evergreen gardenworks, was hard too.
Here's the Japanese ID:
White Flower verity in Japanese is called: 茶青梅
Red/dark pink verity in Japanese is called: 末開红
The white/pink verity in Japanese is called: 寒红梅

You...don't speak the same language as your father? I didn't realize this.

Well I do.. But if I translate directly, it doesn't make sense.

Main thing is...you understand the care. Not for us to understand your father's guidance. So no biggie. Love the blooms.

Still like to know the English name for the varieties.

Ahhh my bad. I misunderstood my first time reading. I thought you wanted care and direction.

I have seen the white flower varieties called Yabai; pink called Hibai; and the dark pink called Kobai. I dont recall finding an English named cultivar for these Japanese varieties, but there are quite a few named cultivars.

Thank you Brian.
We call the white one: 茶青梅 chaseibai
We call the dark pink one: 未开红梅 bikaikoubai
We call the white/pink one: 寒红梅 kankoubai

Nice trees Junmilo
Evergreen gardenworks has a bunch of named varieties. Not sure if it will help identify yours but it's worth a look..

Brent is the only place I know in the US selling ungrafted mume. I only have two that I have been growing out for years but so far they have been relatively easy. grow like weeds and trunk up quickly and to me they are the best flowering species for bonsai. Azalea make a bold show, but i find something about the delicate flowers of mume a little more appealing. I've already placed my order from him for some more! Get em before they are gone!
