The difference between trees: beauty tree: the skin of the tree is green in the growth period, brown or dark green when it grows up, and the trunk is thick and thin, a bit like the shape of a wine bottle;
Kapok tree: its trunk epidermis has always been gray, but at seedling stage, there will be thick thorns on the trunk epidermis.
Difference of leaves: There is a certain gap in the shape and size of their leaves. Beauty tree is oval with leaves ranging from12cm to14cm. On the other hand, the leaves of the kapok tree are oblong, about 10 cm long to 16 cm wide and about 3.5 cm to 5.5 cm wide.
The difference between flowers: Meiren tree blooms first with leaves, and the flowering period can last for 2 to 3 months from 1 1, but 65438+2 months is the best time to enjoy flowers, when there is no leaf growth, which greatly increases its ornamental value. The upper part of the flower is pale pink and the lower part is close to white.
The flowering period of kapok trees is from March to April, and the flowers are red, but sometimes orange. The flowering of kapok trees is also very spectacular.
Functional difference: it is also very ornamental and can be planted in the courtyard or garden. But kapok trees can also be used as medicinal materials.
