GENERAL TREE AND SHRUB LIST:

Prunus mume Cultivars and Selections

Prunus mume, Japanese Flowering Apricot (zone 6) - This small tree is the highlight of the winter season and can bloom from December until March. Often the tree will reach 25 feet tall and wide and it likes moist soil in partial to full sun. Young plants can grow very fast and this year many of the plants are 5+ feet tall so they will not fit in a box. We will prune them to 3.5 feet so they can be shipped. These must be shipped before April 15th. [25’T X 25’W]

Selections introduced by Camellia Forest are shown in blue.


CF’Bridal Veil’ - A weeping Mume with very pale pink blooms on gently down-arching branches. Strongly scented flowers make this an outstanding and unusual cultivar selected from hundreds of seedlings. Without staking my plant has mounded up to 10 feet tall and 20 feet across in 10 years. $30.00

‘Contorta’ - The twisted branches of ‘Contorta’ can have bends or even loops. This is slower growing but still generally upright. Occasional reversions need to be removed. $30.00

CF ‘Fragrant Snow’ - For us, this is the best white flowered variety, with large semi-double flowers and a strong pleasant scent. This is vigorous and early blooming. $28.00

‘Hokkai-bungo’ - Dependably the first Mume to bloom with the darkest red flowers of any variety we have seen. The flowers are semi-double and the color is outstanding in the winter landscape. $30.00

‘Josephine’ - This has proven to be one of the strongest varieties in field trails under harsh conditions. This was developed by Tom Krenitsky and has light pink flowers in middle season. $30.00

‘Kobai’ - This is the variety ‘Kobai’ that is grown in Japan. It has pinkish-red semi-double flowers and is slightly lighter in color than the ‘Kobai’ we have offered in previous years. $28.00

‘Mitsubara Red’ – This very deep pink-red semi-double grows with an upright habit. $30.00

‘Okitsu-akabana’ -This variety has the largest flowers of any Mume we have seen. They are light pink and quite double and bloom slightly later than most mumes. $30.00

‘Omoi-no-mama’ - The flowers vary in different shades of light pink to white for a nice effect. The flowers are semi-double and bloom early to mid-season. $30.00

‘Sabashi-ko’ - The flowers of this Mume are deep reddish pink and single. Blooms early to mid-season. $28.00

‘Toji-bai’ - This is a single white flowered clone that blooms in the middle of the season. This one should be excellent for bonsai since the branches of potted plants are enveloped in a profusion of flowers. $30.00

‘Trumpet’ – This is one of the earliest bloomers with very pale pink single flowers. $28.00

‘Usuiro-chirimen’ - A heavy bloomer with single white flowers with red calyces. $28.00
