13:34 It looks like peach given the grouping. Generally plum will be more like individual flowers across branch with almost no stem, peach would be more like pairs across branches, while cherry/sakura more like bouquet grouping on the edge of small stems from larger branch. Sakura flower also should have small cleft on the petals, while peach is teardrop and plum is more rounded. CMIIW.

When my husband and I bought our house, I didn't notice for a year, but there is a tree in the backyard and it looked weird in spring so I took a closer look. Here it is a cherry tree with a grafted weeping cherry(sakura) tree on it so it had white blossoms on normal branches and then these weeping branches with pink blossoms!

@kailenefalls86112 жыл бұрын
The plum blossoms, while beautiful, tend not to encompass such huge areas as Sakura. I find Sakura more beautiful less because of the actual blossoms themselves, and more because the huge forested areas of pink are just so enchanting! There are a few larger plum spots here and there, but since they bloom earlier than cherry blossoms, all the flower viewing people tend to flood those few areas while waiting for Sakura to bloom. Wisteria are wonderful as well- I just visited the famous wisteria park in Tochigi last week. However, since they are much less common, the spots to see them tend to be extremely crowded, so keep that in mind! The thing with wisteria is that that generally need a lot more care (and support structures) than Sakura or plum, so it’s pretty rare to find big and beautiful wisteria that are in unknown areas. That being said, I love all three and make trips every year to see them all! Sakura just has the most bang for the buck!
