On May 27, in the Yangjiayu Flower Base, Taiyuan, Shanxi, four 60-year-old iron trees bloomed one after another, attracting tourists to visit.
Iron trees are distinguished by males and females. The four iron trees have three males and one female. The male flower inflorescence is cylindrical, and the female flower inflorescence is spherical.
The iron tree is one of the oldest tree species in the world. The stem is as hard as iron and is evergreen throughout the year. It is a plant with strong vitality.
Due to the slow growth of iron trees, old trees of 15 to 20 years old can bloom, so there is a saying that "millennium iron trees bloom".
