Prunus Mume White - B4792
€290.00
VAT included
Native to China and widely cultivated in Japan, Prunus mume “White”, known as the White Japanese Apricot, is a deciduous species highly valued in bonsai for its abundant and fragrant winter bloom. Its delicate white flowers appear before the leaves, creating a striking contrast against the grey bark of the trunk.
Sunlight: Prefers full sun for abundant flowering, though it tolerates partial shade. Good sunlight exposure is essential for healthy bud development.
Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly during flowering and summer, reducing frequency in winter.
Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity. Occasional misting helps in very dry environments.
Pruning: Prune after flowering, removing crossing or unwanted branches. Avoid heavy pruning before flowering, as buds form in the previous summer.
Fertilization: Feed from spring to late summer with a balanced fertiliser, reducing frequency in autumn. Avoid nitrogen-rich fertilisers during flowering.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years, preferably in early spring before new growth starts. Use a well-draining mix (akadama, pumice, and sand).
Flowering and Fruiting: Blooms in late winter or early spring with fragrant white flowers. It may produce small round fruits in summer. Its main ornamental value lies in its early flowering and the refined, aged appearance of its trunk.
