Prunus mume 'Beni-chidori'
Prunus 'Beni-chidori' is a small deciduous Japanese apricot with fragrant, single flowers on bare branches. The blossom usually appears in February, opening deep pink and fading to a softer pink as it ages.
Its rounded crown suits smaller gardens and mixed borders. Plant it near a path or entrance where the scent can be enjoyed up close. Green summer leaves turn apricot-orange in autumn, adding a second season of colour.
Grow in full sun in a sheltered position with moist but well-drained soil. Water regularly while the tree establishes, especially during dry spells. If light pruning is needed, trim after flowering.
