Currently, the "Early Pink" plum blossom is the garden's star attraction. Its petals are as delicate as silk, soft to the touch, with pale pink blossoms covering the entire tree. The garden will soon display a selection of exquisite plum blossom bonsai.

It is understood that the Hefei Botanical Garden's Plum Garden houses over 5,000 plum trees, encompassing more than 160 varieties. As temperatures gradually rise, these trees will enter their prime viewing period.
