Pink Weeping Apricot - Prunus mume ‘Pendula’
The Japanese flowering apricot is the first of the ornamental Prunus to bloom, opening in the depths of winter well before any cherry or plum stirs. In this weeping form the fragrant pink flowers are carried along bare, arching stems that fall in a curtain, so the whole plant flowers as a cascade. Prunus mume also flowers on old wood, which means the interior of the crown blooms as heavily as the tips. It is planted where a garden needs something happening in July and August.
Why the Weeping Apricot
Earliest bloom: Flowers open in mid to late winter, weeks ahead of flowering cherries and plums.
Genuine fragrance: The blossom carries a strong spicy sweet scent, unusual among ornamental Prunus.
Weeping cascade: Arching branches fall to create a curtain of flower rather than a flat canopy of it.
Flowers on old wood: Bloom is produced along the length of the stems, not just at the tips, so the display has depth.
Long lived frame: The twisted, characterful branch structure improves with age and is a winter feature in itself.
Ideal Applications
Winter garden focal point: Sited where it is visible from indoors, it carries the coldest weeks of the year.
Japanese and courtyard gardens: The weeping habit and early bloom fit the idiom precisely.
Beside a path or gate: Close proximity lets the fragrance register as people pass.
Water's edge: Planted at the margin of a pond, the cascading branches and their reflection double the effect.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): Not a hedging plant. Allow 3 to 4m between plants in a row of standards
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3.5 to 4m from walls and paths so the skirt can fall unobstructed
Best Planting Season: Late autumn to late winter while dormant
Soil & Drainage: Free draining loam of moderate fertility, neutral to slightly acidic. It needs a district with reliable winter chill and will not flower well in the subtropics
Establishment Care: Water deeply once or twice a week through the first two summers, keeping moisture consistent so the flower buds set properly in autumn. Mulch to 75mm clear of the trunk, remove any suckers from below the graft, and confine pruning to immediately after flowering, since summer or autumn cuts remove the coming season's bloom.
