Thank you for explanations and kind response.
I never tast Umeboshi, but I will try to see if I can found some of them at Japan supermakt here in Düsseldorf. Japan community is here enough important and we can found some interesting products.
When I was young my mother had a nice tree we called in France "Pommier du Japon" (= Apple tree of Japan) I don't know if it's the same tree. But I loved a lot this tree, with uncredible red flowers...

^ rdekv, thank you again! Umeboshi is very trditional food in Japan. People make rice ball with it. Very salty and sour. eat it few is good! I prefer eat apples. Apple is one of my favourite foods! Your mother made lovely name! I am really glad to hear that:)

^ Thank you, rdekv! I love image of drooping branch of the tree. Plum blossoms have very lovely colour and soul of Asian. I hope these tree are going to another countries. We have a culture, to eat this plum's fruit that calls Umeboshi.
