The Pear Flower is a deciduous tree with white flowers, arranged in umbels, which can produce spherical pear fruits after flowering. Becausethe fruit is as small as a bean, it is named Dou Li in Chinese. In Shanghai Chen Shan Botanical Garden, a number of highly ornamental pear flower varieties, such as "nobles", "warriors", "hongta" and "cock" are planted.
Walking along the Kawajin Sakura Avenue to the end, you can see two big pear flower trees. The pear flower trees planted in many places are very tall, but the flowering branches are difficult to capture with the naked eye or mobile phones. The growth height of these pear trees in Chunjing Garden is just right for tourists to get close to the flowers.
At present, the pear flowersare numerous and tightly clustered, and they look like "flower balls". It is conceivable that the scenery will be more spectacular when the trees are full of flowers in mid-to-late March.
