Pink Weeping Apricot (Standard) - Prunus mume ‘Pendula’
Grafted high onto a straight clear stem, this weeping form of the Japanese flowering apricot, Prunus mume, throws its branches outward and then straight down in a curtain that reaches almost to the ground. It flowers earlier than any other ornamental Prunus in Australian gardens, opening fragrant pink blossom on bare wood in the depths of winter when nothing else is doing anything. The standard form matters here: the graft union sets the head height, and everything below the crown stays clear stem.
Why Pink Weeping Apricot
Winter flowering: Blossom typically opens from July into August in southern Australia, weeks ahead of the cherries and plums.
Fragrance on bare wood: The flowers carry a warm spicy scent, unusual among the ornamental Prunus.
Trained weeping crown: Grafted at the top of a straight stem, so the cascade begins at head height and falls in a defined dome.
Clear trunk beneath: The clean stem allows underplanting right up to the base, unlike a bush-form weeper.
Long-lived structure: Given sun and drainage it becomes a permanent piece of garden architecture rather than a short-term feature.
Ideal Applications
Formal lawn specimen: A single tree in a turf or gravel circle where the weeping dome can be read all round.
Matched pairs: Two trees flanking steps, a gate or a driveway entry give strong symmetry.
Courtyard centrepiece: The compact head suits an enclosed space that needs winter interest.
Underplanted feature bed: Hellebores, snowdrops and bulbs flower beneath it at the same time.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): Not a screening plant; 3m if planted in a row
Spacing (feature/avenue): 4 to 5m
Best Planting Season: Late autumn through winter while dormant, or early spring in cold districts
Soil & Drainage: Fertile, well-drained loam, neutral to slightly acid; will not tolerate sustained waterlogging
Establishment Care: Keep the stake and tie in place for the first two years so the graft union is not rocked by wind, checking ties do not bite into the stem. Water deeply through the first two summers, mulch clear of the trunk, and prune only lightly straight after flowering since next winter's buds form on the current season's wood.
