Question: what is the difference between apple blossom and cherry blossom?
Answer: Apple-tree blossoms grow before the tree's fruit ripens. The blossoms, or flowers, of fruit trees mark the beginning of springtime weather. Stone-fruit trees, such as plum and cherry trees, produce blossoms with 5 petals that grow in clusters of 3 to 5 flowers, usually before the trees' leaves and fruit appear.
