The difference between red leaf plum blossoms and cherry blossoms

1. Differences between tree trunks

The trunk of the red-leaf plum tree is dark gray.

The trunk of the cherry tree is dark chestnut brown, and the bark of the early cherry tree is white. It has a certain luster and feels very smooth to the touch, with horizontal stripes on it.

2. Leaf Difference

The leaves of red-leaf plum are generally oval, some are ovate or obovate, and the rarest is oval-lanceolate. The leaves are dark green and hairless above, and lighter in color below, with serrated edges.

The leaves of cherry blossoms are oval-oval or obovate. The colors of the two types of leaves are very similar, dark green on top and very light green on the bottom.

3. Petal Difference

The petals of the red-leaf plum are white, oblong in shape, and some are spoon-shaped, with undulating edges.

The petals of cherry blossoms are mostly white and pink, oval in shape, with a concave tip and an entire two-lobed edge.
