Cherry trees are small deciduous trees. There are many kinds of cherries in China, including early cherry, late cherry, drooping cherry and Yunnan cherry. Late cherry is widely used in domestic planting and landscaping.
Cherry blossom is an important ornamental tree species in early spring, which is widely used in gardens. Cherry blossoms can be planted in groups in the forest, or on hillsides, courtyards, roadsides and in front of buildings. The flowering time is about March.

Reasons for flowering first and then growing leaves:
The flower buds and leaf buds of cherry trees differentiated in the summer of the previous year and then went into dormancy.
Because the temperature required for the growth of flower buds is lower than that required for the growth of leaf buds, the temperature in early spring can only meet the growth of flower buds, while leaf buds continue to sleep. When the temperature rises to a certain extent, leaf buds begin to grow, so there is a situation in which flowers bloom first and then leaves grow.
