In what environment do plum blossoms grow?

Plum blossoms are very adaptable and like warmth and heat resistance. Plum blossoms are cultivated in China's "Three Fireplaces" cities (namely, Wuhan, Nanjing and Chongqing), and also in Guangzhou and Haikou. Plum blossom requires deep soil layer, low groundwater level, good drainage conditions, loose topsoil and slightly sticky subsoil. Shallow soil layer or loose soil make plum trees vulnerable to drought; If the water retention capacity is too strong, plum trees will rot easily. The acidity of soil is the best (about pH6), but plum blossom can also grow in slightly alkaline soil or barren soil. Plum blossoms avoid stagnant water and grow poorly in poorly drained soil. After several days of water accumulation, the yellow roots of the leaves rotted to death. Plum blossoms like sunshine, but in the shade, they don't grow well and don't bloom often. Plum blossoms like high air humidity, but they are also resistant to drying, and can be cultivated in both north and south. Plum blossom has thick branches, long dormant buds and resistance to pruning, which is suitable for cutting flowers and cultivating stumps. Plum blossom branches vary in length, and the long and short branches are sparse, so plum blossom varieties with many branches and short branches bloom intensively.

The flowering period of plum blossoms is greatly influenced by temperature. After the flower bud is formed, it needs a cold climate to enter dormancy, and the dormant flower bud develops and opens after the temperature rises. The opening time is related to the temperature and effective accumulated temperature, and the opening time of plum blossom can be delayed by controlling the temperature.
