Prunus Mume (Japanese Double Pink)

This Apricot cousin is an attractive and easy to grow small tree that is very popular in Japanese gardens. Our unique varieties feature profuse, deliciously fragrant flowers that bloom as early as February 1st in our region. The tart, flavorful and intensely aromatic, apricot-size fruit ripens in August and is often candied, pickled in salt or used to make a delicious syrup. Also commonly known as Ume “plum”
