The difference between elmleaf plum and beauty plum

1. Difference of blades

The leaves of Prunus armeniaca are initially broadly elliptical and then become obovate, about 2-6 cm long, 1.5-4 cm wide, and green in color.

The leaves of the beauty plum are oval in shape, slightly wider than the former, and about 5-9 cm long. Its leaves are purple-red in color.

2. The difference between flowers

The flowers of Prunus armeniaca open before the leaves, with a diameter of about 2-3 cm. The calyx tube is broadly bell-shaped, and the sepals are ovate or ovate-lanceolate. The petals are nearly round or broadly obovate and pink in color.

The color of the beauty plum flower changes from light purple at the beginning to lavender, and the color of the back and the center of the flower is slightly darker.

3. Fruit Difference

The fruit of the Prunus armeniaca is nearly spherical and red in color. The skin of the fruit of the beauty plum is bright purple-red, which is darker than the former.
