When does the peach blossom bloom

The natural flowering period of the peach blossom is mid to late February in South China, March in the Jiangnan region, early April in Central China, and going to May in North China. The use of flowering promotion and control technology can also make it bloom in more time.

The so-called "March peach blossom" is just a customary traditional saying. It is based on the Central Plains. Whether from the age of this statement (many ancient literary works have this statement) or its benchmark region to judge, the so-called "March" refers to the lunar calendar.
