Description

The listing, 6 Japanese Plum Seeds has ended.

You are bidding on 5 seeds from the Prunus mume an Asian tree species classified in the Armeniaca section of the genus Prunus. Its common names include Chinese plum, Japanese Plum, Japanese Prisimon and Japanese apricot. Some even call it Loquat. The flower is usually called plum blossom. This distinct tree species is related to both the plum and apricot trees. Although generally referred to as a plum in English, it is more closely related to the apricot. The ripened fruit is the size of a plum but much sweeter.

The tree's flowering in late winter and early spring is highly regarded as a seasonal symbol.

Plum blossom is a deciduous tree that starts to flower in mid-winter, typically around January until late February. It can grow to 4–10 meters tall. The flowers are 2-2.5 cm in diameter and have a strong fragrant scent. They have colors in varying shades of white, pink, and red. The leaves appear shortly after the petals fall, are oval-shaped with a pointed tip, and are 4–8 cm long and 2.5–5 cm wide. The fruit ripens in early summer, around June and July. The skin turns yellow, sometimes with a red blush, as it ripens, and the flesh becomes yellow. The tree is cultivated for its fruit and flowers.
I live in zone 8 and we have had some hard winters and hot summers. My trees have pulled thru beautifully.

If you cover these well at the root you shouldn't have any problem with them coming back. I know my trees have gone thru freezes here and they came thru with no problems.
