Do plum blossoms only bloom in winter?

Plum blossoms are not only in winter. Plum blossoms usually bloom in winter and spring, but they also bloom in spring besides winter.

Plum blossom is a deciduous tree of Prunus in Rosaceae, which usually blooms in winter and spring. Plum blossom has five petals, and the common colors are white, red, pink and light yellow. It is a beautiful scenery in the cold winter. With orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, they are listed as "four gentlemen", and with pine trees and bamboos, they are also called "three-year-old cold friends".

Plum trees like warm and humid climate, can grow well in sunny and well-ventilated conditions, have low requirements on soil, are barren-resistant, have certain cold and heat resistance, can still grow in cold environment, and are suitable for flowering at -5 ~-7℃.

The vitality of plum trees is very tenacious. The more you are cut down, the more you keep drilling out buds and pulling out branches. Therefore, Sheng Haizhou once wrote a poem praising this flower blooming in the cold wind: "Plum blossom, you are strong, but not bent!" " " ?
