Description
Widely distributed in China and Japan, the Prunus mume Beni Chidori called the Japanese apricot tree is distinguished by its wonderful pink-carmine bloom at the end of winter. At the heart of its petals, long white stamens burst in sheaves. Its very fragrant and honey-bearing flowers, assembled in terminal bouquets, bloom on bare wood in February and March to announce the arrival of sunny days.
The Prunus mume Beni Chidori grows to 3 or 5 m in height and spreads over 3 to 4 m. Its compact and rounded silhouette is ideal for small gardens. Hardy in many areas, it resists cold down to -15 à -20°C. Modest greenish-yellow fruits of 2 to 3 cm resembling apricots decorate the shrub in late May and late July. These fruits with a bitter taste and not very sweet can be eaten as is or dried, we also produce a traditional aperitif drink in Japan called "plum wine" with a sweet and tangy flavor.
Planted in basic, well-drained soil, the Japanese Apricot Beni chidori readily joins a varied hedge or a bed in association with other spring-flowering plants. Prunus mume Beni Chidori has an exceptional longevity and can approach the millennium.
