The oldest pear tree in Wuhan

This pear tree is in Qingshan Park, Wuhan City.

Recently, there is a flowering tree in Wuhan that is particularly popular. Large clusters of white flowers hang on the branches, looking like clouds growing on the trees from a distance.

This is a beautiful pear tree. Due to the warm weather this year, its flowers bloomed a week early, just in time with the early cherry blossoms. The pear blossom is pure white, and it looks stunning no matter what color you wear when taking photos.

A friend who lives in Qingshan told me that this pear tree is quite old and has been planted here since she was very young. As a child, as soon as the pear blossoms bloomed, she knew that the season for catching tadpoles and raising silkworms was not far away. In fact, this pear tree has been around since 1968 and was planted in the park's "Sakura Garden". Its flowers are small and white. It does look a bit like a cherry blossom tree. Its flowers are densely packed and its "arm span" is long. Three or four people can stand under the tree and take pictures without "fighting". The pear tree variety is Tangli, which has a short flowering period of only about 20 days. After flowering, small pears will be produced, but they taste dry and are not recommended for consumption.

Qingshan Park is a treasure park for Qingshan residents. It was completed and opened to the public in 1963 and carries the childhood memories of several generations of Qingshan residents. The park as a whole is not big and can be visited in one hour. Qingshan Park was built and opened in 1963 and has always been a treasure trove for Qingshan residents. The park is not large and can be visited in one hour. There are many pavilions and corridors in the park, retaining the appearance of the old park from the last century. You can enjoy plum blossoms in winter, cinnamon in autumn, cherry blossoms in spring, and shaded cloisters in summer. Neighbors often come here to take a walk. As the seasons change, the tall and lush trees also change colors, attracting photographers to take aerial photos. Line 5 opened to traffic last winter, and many people took the subway to come here to check in, making Qingshan Park frequently popular in Xiaohongshu. People in Qingshan are not surprised that Lishu has become an "Internet celebrity" this time.
