I've always been told about mume being very susceptable to spring freezes and fungus attacks later in spring from the cracks in branching due to freezing in early spring, anyway I visited a nursery in my zone and found they had probalbly a hundred seedling mume in the ground, they were six foot or taller with thick trunks, obviously been in the ground awhile, when I asked the grower about this issue, he had no idea what I was talking about and stated that's never happened to him, they were in flower and very healthy, and we have been having some cold winters.Is this only true with certain cultivars? We have rough winters and springs in my area, thanks
