Plum trees are producing cheerful blossoms in the Xinzhuang Plum Garden and Xinzhuang Park in Minhang District in recent days. This year's plum season started around January 28 and is expected to end in mid-March. About 95 percent of the plum trees in the Xinzhuang Plum Garden are in full blossom now, while some varieties – the green calyx plum and the prunus mume meiren plum – are expected to bear flowers at the last in the middle of March. The 2023 Xinzhuang Plum Blossom Festival, which kicked off on March 1, highlights plum flowers of 97 different varieties, including the weeping plum, the two-color plum and the tortuous dragon plum.
