[IBC] Prunus Mume
Somebody suggested Prunus mume as a substitute for Prunus spinosa (sloe) for
bonsai. I would veto that for much of the US. I found that P. mume does very poorly in hot dry summer weather. The leaves turn to schmatehs (rags). I don't know yet about other climatic hurdles, but my new 'Hally Jolivette' withstood this summer's barbaric dry heat admirably. It grew steadily, and only had perhaps a handful of yellow leaves. Of course it is not wild looking, since it has singly borne, semi-double flowers, but as Jim pointed out, there are many wild native American cherries.
