Bongo Flowering Apricot Live Tree – 3–4 Feet Tall, 3-Gallon Pot

📝 DESCRIPTION

Bongo Flowering Apricot (Prunus mume) is a beautiful ornamental flowering tree originating from Japan. It is admired for its fragrant, long-lasting pink blossoms that appear in early spring, bringing seasonal color and fragrance to ornamental gardens and landscapes.

In addition to its attractive flowers, Bongo produces fruits that can reach approximately 2 inches in diameter. The fruit is traditionally used in various Asian culinary delicacies. For improved fruit set, cross-pollination with another compatible Prunus mume variety is recommended.

This listing includes one live Bongo Flowering Apricot tree, approximately 3–4 feet tall, with a larger trunk, shipped in a 3-gallon nursery pot. Its early-season flowers also provide a valuable forage resource for pollinators when many other plants have not yet begun flowering.
