Red fruit like plums is called plums. Prunus mume belongs to Rosaceae, Prunus, European plum species, also known as Chilean plum, California plum, French jujube and so on. Although it is called plum, it is actually a kind of plum, which looks like apricot plum. Introduced and cultivated in all parts of China; Native to West Asia and Europe, it has a wide variety due to long-term cultivation. There are varieties such as green plum, yellow plum, red plum, purple plum and green plum. Prunus mume requires high planting environment, and there are few areas that can be planted and have high yield. In China, Xinjiang has unique geographical conditions conducive to the growth of plum blossoms, which are planted in Kashgar, Yining, Hotan and other places. It can also grow normally in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, the north bank of Weihe River, Datong, Shanxi, Changli, Hebei and Shangqiu, Henan. After years of demonstration, it is found that plum blossoms can be planted on slopes and beaches, but it is best to plant them in areas with loose soil and smooth drainage. Plum blossoms are planted in the north of China, only scattered in the south, and the quality is not good.
