The Tree of 40 Fruit produces blossoms in a carefully sequenced color progression: starting with white blossoms from apricots and Asian plum varieties, followed by pink blossoms from red leaf plum varieties, then dark crimson, pink, and white blossoms from peaches and European plums, creating clusters of blossoms on branches that look like little clouds—a visual effect achieved by deliberate placement of each variety on specific branches rather than random arrangement.
