The skin turns yellow, sometimes with a red blush, as it ripens, and the flesh becomes yellow. The drupe is 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) in diameter with a groove running from the stalk to the tip. The fruit ripens in early summer, around June and July in East Asia, and coincides with the East Asian rainy season, the meiyu ( 梅雨, "plum rain"). The leaves appear shortly after the petals fall, are oval-shaped with a pointed tip, and are 4–8 cm long and 2.5–5 cm wide. They have colors in varying shades of white, pink, and red. The flowers are 2–2.5 cm (0.79–0.98 in) in diameter and have a strong fragrant scent. Prunus mume is a deciduous tree that starts to flower in mid-winter, typically around January until late February in East Asia. It can be found in sparse forests, stream sides, forested slopes along trails and mountains, sometimes at altitudes up to 1,700–3,100 m (5,600–10,200 ft), and regions of cultivation. It was later introduced to Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Prunus mume originated around the Yangtze River in the south of China. Another tree, Prunus japonica, is also a separate species despite having a Latin name similar to Prunus mume's common name. Prunus mume should not be confused with Prunus salicina, a related species also grown in China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. The tree's flowering in late winter and early spring is highly regarded as a seasonal symbol. In East Asian cuisine ( Chinese, Japanese and Korean) and Vietnamese cuisine, the fruit of the tree is used in juices, as a flavouring for alcohol, as a pickle and in sauces. Although generally referred to as a plum in English, it is more closely related to the apricot. This distinct tree species is related to both the plum and apricot trees.
The flower, long a beloved subject in the traditional painting and poetry of East Asia and Vietnam, is usually called plum blossom. Its common names include Chinese plum, Japanese plum, and Japanese apricot. Prunus mume is a Chinese tree species classified in the Armeniaca section of the genus Prunus subgenus Prunus.
