Flowering Plum Tree 'Long Stamen Green Sepal' (绿萼梅) Bare Root

Green Sepal" earns its name from its distinctive green calyx, white flowers, and green twigs. It falls under the category of green-calyx plum trees within the plum blossom variety classification system, holding a prominent position among plum blossom varieties. This variety thrives in environments with high air humidity, demonstrating moderate drought resistance while preferring loose, well-draining soil. However, it particularly favors moist, humus-rich sandy loam; in heavy, poorly-draining soils, root rot and mortality may occur.

As a deciduous small tree, "Green Sepal" can reach heights of up to 10 meters. Its trunk boasts a purplish-brown hue with numerous vertical stripes, often adorned with thorns on the branches. Branchlets display a green coloration or have green as their base color. The leaves are broadly ovate to ovate, featuring elongated acuminate apexes or pointed tails. Flowering typically begins in early spring, from February to March, with blossoms emerging from the leaf axils of annual branches. These flowers appear either solitary or in clusters of two, boasting single or double petals and emitting a subtle fragrance. The spherical drupe bears shallow grooves on one side and is hairy, maturing into yellow fruit in June. Branchlets maintain their green hue without a purple halo.
