"See this plum tree? Would you like to see it bloom earlier?" Zhou Ziang reached out and grasped a branch of the plum tree, which was budding with over a dozen pinkish-white blossoms.
There are three or four slender plum trees beside the artificial lake, and the one Zhou Ziang is pointing to is the commonly seen palace powder plum. When it blooms, its petals are pink with a hint of white at the tips. Its advantages are a long blooming period and dense flowers; from a distance, it looks like a few pink clouds floating on the treetops. Indeed, it adds quite a bit of color to the garden in winter. However, its flaws are that the flowers are small and overly plain.
"The hospital hasn't pruned it properly, and there isn't enough fertilizer. Although this plum tree has produced many buds, most of them won't bloom and will wither before flowering," Xiao Xian took a few glances and made her judgment.
