Prunus mume – Mokel Ume (Japanese Apricot)

Due to import restrictions we are unable to ship Apricots to CA.

Japanese Apricot, also known as Ume, produces fragrant, large, ruffled, deep-pink flowers very early in the season. At our nursery, flowers bloom in February, making Ume an excellent early source of pollen for honey bees. The fruit is traditionally eaten raw, candied, boiled, preserved in sugar, pickled in salt, dried, or made into liqueur. The pulp is also used to make ume-bishio, a sour jam.

Self-fertile. Sometimes grown as a bonsai specimen. Mature height about 12'. Space 10–15' circle. Zones 5–7.
