Bonsai Fruit Trees

Do bonsai ume (flowering apricot, Prunus mume) trees bear fruit? All the websites say so, but they only say so with the exact same text. Has anyone had fruit grow from one of these in their own experience?

The easy answer is yes they do. But it’s more like, yes they can, if you give them near perfect conditions to grow, can keep the flowers on and healthy long enough, and the tree is large and healthy enough to sustain the stress of supporting the fruit until it is ripe. There are a few different cultivars of this tree as well, some easier to fruit than others. At any point from flower bud to ripe fruit the tree can abort the process due to any, some or all of these reasons. For more info visit here Bonsai Mall
