The difference between double-petaled plum and peach blossom

1. Leaf Difference

The leaves on the short branches of the double-petaled plum are usually clustered, and the leaves on the annual branches are alternate. The leaves are broadly ovate or obovate, about 2 to 6 cm long and about 1.5 to 3 cm wide, with a broad cuneate base, usually 3-lobed at the apex, and coarsely serrated edges.

The leaves of peach blossom are oval-lanceolate, with coarse serrations on the edges, petioles 1 to 2 cm long, and glabrous on both sides.

2. Flower Differences

The flowers of the double-petaled plum are double, and the flowers usually open before the leaves. They are 2 to 3 cm in diameter, and the pedicels are about 4 to 8 mm long. The flowers are dark pink, the calyx tube is broadly bell-shaped, and the petals are nearly round or broadly obovate, about 6 to 10 mm long.

Peach flowers are usually solitary, blooming before the leaves, with a diameter of about 2.5 to 3.5 cm, with short stems, and colors such as white, red, and pink.
