Prunus domestica_Common plum
There are not many common plums in the world of bonsai. Why is that? Happy to learn.
I was always thinking about getting one, but could not find any decent Yamadori. As my clock are ticking faster and faster I was quite desperately looking for something reasonably good. ( reasonable = anything I am able to get a hold ). Based on this approach two reasonable specimens have landed on my place this spring. Too early to share though - lets wait for next spring. There is nothing wrong being a little superstitious isn't it.
In the meantime, I am happy to share two pics. A wild form designed by the Nature and a picture of a plum from a garden. That one looks very different from the rest of the common plums I have ever seen. But believe me it is a common plum...
This is a typical shape of common plum
And this one is from a garden. Frankly, I do not believe the owner is taking too much care of it. I guess the basic structure was made years ago and since then it has grown wild. I really like this umbrella shape. But I gues it will be more appropriate for other species... Apple tree perhaps?
