& shy; The sun is shining and the temperature is warmer. Japan Prunus lannesiana is bound to be one of the most beautiful flowers in Fuzhou this week. Many people regard Japan and cherry blossoms as synonyms. In fact, there are three kinds of cherry blossoms in Fuzhou in spring, namely Fujian Cerasus serrulata, Japanese cherry blossoms and Japan Prunus lannesiana.
& shy; Japanese Prunus lannesiana flowers are blooming
& shy; As the latest flowering cherry variety in Fuzhou, there are not many forest-forming areas in Japan Prunus lannesiana, mainly in Jinji Mountain Park in Fuzhou. Yesterday, the reporter saw in Jinji Mountain Park that these heavy Prunus lannesiana were hanging in clusters on the branches. Prunus lannesiana of Japanese flower bud is Rose Red. After blooming, the color gradually turns to pink.
& shy; In 2013, the cherry blossom forest of the People’s Congress in Jinjishan Park planted more than a hundred Japanese Prunus lannesiana trees, which are popular every year 4 months ago and later. Due to the extreme cold weather in winter this year, Japan opened Prunus lannesiana a little late. The relevant person in charge of Jinjishan Park said: “Because the altitude is slightly higher than that of the urban park and it is planted in mountainous areas, the flowering effect of Japanese Prunus lannesiana in Jinjishan is good.”
& shy; Less than 100 plants in Fuzhou Japanese cherry blossoms
& shy; Every spring, the cherry blossoms of Wuhan University attract tourists from all over the country, where the main theme is Japanese cherry blossoms.
& shy; Currently, there are less than Japanese cherry blossoms trees in Fuzhou. Around 2007, Fuzhou introduced 38 Japanese cherry blossoms trees, and only 20 trees could blossom. Several Japanese cherry blossoms trees have also been planted in the bonsai garden of West Lake Park, which has already blossomed. This kind of cherry blossom is single lobe pink and white, but it cannot reach the flowering boom in other parts of the country.
& shy; Garden experts said that Japanese cherry blossoms is a plant planted in temperate zones, while Fuzhou is subtropical. “Japanese cherry blossoms flowering requires low temperature conditions, and the average temperature in Fuzhou is relatively high in winter, therefore, it is not suitable for Japanese cherry blossoms growth.”
& shy; Fujian Cerasus serrulata First Bloom and then long leaf
& shy; As a native plant, Fujian Cerasus serrulata has become one of the favorite flowers and trees for urban greening in recent years. Compared with the other two kinds of cherry blossoms, Fujian Cerasus serrulata has a large amount of flowers, which can bloom from January to mid-March, because the flowers look like a bell, also called a Bell cherry blossom.
& shy; Since 2005, Fujian Cerasus serrulata began to plant in Jin’an River Park, Forest Park, Minjiang Park and other parks in the urban area.
& shy; The municipal Garden Bureau said that they were also choosing seedlings and locations, and when the time was ripe, they would build a cherry blossom forest with Fuzhou characteristics. (Reporter Shi Leilei/Wen Baohua Huang Kong Yu/picture)
