Differences Between Cherry Blossoms and Plum Blossoms - Flowers of Japan 

Hello everyone,
join us as we explore the differences between Cherry Blossoms and Plum Blossoms.
Plum blossoms always go ahead of time as its flowers can be seen sprouting from as early as mid-February up to March. The cherry blossoms on the other hand always occupies the last week of March to early April as its blooming season.
The cherry blossom has a spiky feature at the end of each petal whereas the plum blossoms don’t. As for their buds, the plum blossom has more rounded one while the cherry blossom has an oval-shaped feature. Observing these two differences is the easiest way to identify which is which among the two!
Another simple way to differentiate one from the other is by looking at their barks. Cherry blossom trees has a lighter shade of gray with very obvious horizontal lines around it while the bark of a plum blossom tree are known as darker and has no lines.
Surprisingly, the plum blossoms won on this category as cherry blossoms doesn't offer the same beauty when smelled as compared with the plum blossoms that has a more sweet, flowery fragrance. So don't be fooled! When it smells better then you are most likely infatuated with an plum tree.
