Ume
Japanese Plum, Japanese Apricot
noun
The kanji and the word are exactly the same, so this means ume.
Despite sometimes being called a "Japanese plum" or a "Japanese apricot," an ume is its own distinct fruit, and it's nothing like the plums or apricots you're probably used to eating. Ume are super sour and not particularly fun to eat raw, so they're usually either eaten pickled or used to make Japanese plum wine.
The reading is the same as what you learned with the kanji. It's also the same as the meaning of the kanji / vocab, though you can think of this as Japanese plum as well if you want.
私は梅の花が大好きです。
I love Japanese plum blossoms.
この時期には、毎年庭で取れた梅で、梅ジャムを作るんです。
Every year around this time, I make plum jam from the plums harvested from our garden.
「こんなにたくさんの梅の実、どうしたの？」「今日、梅園に行ってきたんだよ。」
"Where did you get this many ume?" "I visited an ume orchard today."
