In which month does the phoenix tree float?

Every year in March and early April, the buds float, and then the fruit hairs float.

Platanus acerifolia, Malvaceae Platanus, has two sources. One is buttonwood leaves in March and early April. When the tender leaves grow out, there will be a layer of furry things on the back of the leaves. When the temperature is above 20℃, the young leaves grow rapidly and the hair will fall off, that is, the bud coat floc; The other is the fruit hair when the fruit is ripe at the turn of spring and summer in mid-May.

Strictly speaking, there are two kinds of flying catkins of buttonwood, one is white and looks like catkins; There is another kind, that is, the brown fruit hair of Indus, which will fly around. After the phoenix tree flies, catkins will also appear, and as the weather gets warmer, it will float more and more; By mid-May, it's time for catkins to fly. Indus is a seasonal, biological and urban environmental pollution problem, which is a side effect of urban residents enjoying tree-lined and green environment.
