Japanese Flowering Apricot (Ume) 'Kenkyo'

This particular Ume, known as 'Kenkyo', is a rare and highly sought after variety. Its stunning, double, light pink flowers bloom in abundance and adorn the delicate branches of this Japanese Flowering Apricot bonsai tree. These fragrant blooms, less than 1 inch in diameter, are the highlight of this tree, followed by oval-shaped leaves with pointed tips in the spring. To ensure a bountiful display of flowers, it is important to provide full sun for this tree, as even small amounts of shade can diminish its flower bud yield. This variety is deeply rooted in tradition and its elegant beauty is often celebrated in poems. With its expertly grafted trunk, Kenkyo is truly a masterpiece for any bonsai collection..
