1. Flowers are different

2. Different leaves

3. Fruits are different

The flowers are different: the flowers and leaves of cherry cherry bloom together, and the color is pink and white; plum blossoms bloom earlier than the leaves, and the color of the flowers is pink, deeper and pinker than the former. The leaves are different: the edges of the leaves of cherry cherry have sharper serrations, while the edges of the leaves of plum blossoms have coarse serrations. The fruits are different: the fruit setting rate of hairy cherry is high, and the individual fruits are small; the fruit setting rate of plum blossom is very low, but the individual fruits are larger.

1. Different flowers

The flowers and leaves of hairy cherry bloom together. The flower color is white with a little pink, and the sepals are red. The shape is triangular and oval, covered with a layer of short soft hairs.

The flowers of Prunus elata It opens relatively early, earlier than the time when the leaves grow. It usually has 1-2 flowers with a diameter of about 2-3 cm.

The leaves of Ulmus elata The shape is broadly oval to obovate, and looks more like the leaves of an elm tree. Its leaves have coarsely serrated edges and hairs on the back, but the front is smoother.

3. Fruit Different

The fruit setting rate of hairy cherries is relatively high, and they produce more fruits, but individual fruits are smaller, with a diameter of about 0.8-1 cm.

Fruit setting of Prunus elata The rate is extremely low, especially the double-flowered varieties with almost no fruit, but individual fruits are larger, about 1-1.5 cm in diameter.
