Russia is a huge country with vast areas, various time zones and climatic conditions. The nature of our country is unique and beautiful. Perhaps there is no longer a country in the world that is equally generously gifted by nature. Our vast fields, dense forests, high mountains, deep rivers attract the attention of all nature lovers. Tourists believe that this is where the secret of the Russian soul lies.
Leaving Russia, guests (who managed to see all the natural diversity), and even more so the citizens of the country, always miss the nature of a great power. They admit that they always remember with warmth and nostalgia nightingale trills, wonderful wildflowers, which trees bloom in May and what coolness and peace the mountains give.
Spring
Spring is considered the most beautiful time of the year. In spring, nature wakes up from hibernation: the trees “dress” in beautiful green dresses, flowers of various shapes and colors and give a dizzying aroma, the sun becomes more affectionate and warmer.
In the vastness of our homeland, spring is gradually coming into its own. Therefore, if you take a vacation and go on a trip around the country to see the “spring route and its consequences”, you can feel this time of year in all its diversity. While in the south of the country all the trees begin to turn green and bloom, in the Far East there are only a few types of trees that can please residents.
Let's go on a virtual trip and find out which trees bloom in May in different parts of our country.
Kuban lands
It is known that the Kuban is the breadbasket of Russia. Its fertile lands are able to feed the entire Kuban population, as well as generously share with compatriots. Bread, rice, various berries, vegetables and, of course, fruits ripen under the Kuban sun.
Kuban gardens, forests, villages and even cities change in the spring beyond recognition: the trees become lush green, bloom very beautifully and smell good. If you ask: which trees bloom in April-May in the Kuban, you will receive an impressive list in response. Firstly, fruit trees bloom, such as apple trees, pears, peaches, apricots, cherries, plums and many others. Secondly, non-fertile and ornamental trees: chestnut, acacia, lilac, poplar, birch, linden, willow and willow.
It is interesting that the weather in the Kuban is a very wayward lady, and often she shows her "whims" to nature and to all residents. There were times when the trees opened buds, and they were still waiting for strong frosty nights. Or, on the contrary, spring was so “in a hurry” to come as soon as possible, that even in the rare snowy April days it blossomed flowers on the trees.
Resort areas
“Staying” in the south, you can look into the gardens of residents of resort towns, such as Sochi, Adler, Gelendzhik. Here trees grow, the fruits of which every inhabitant of our country adores. The taste and benefits of summer fruits cannot be compared to human health.
So, what trees bloom in May near the sea coast? It:
- magnolia;
- pomegranate (sometimes begins to bloom in late May, but more often in summer);
- mandarin;
- persimmon;
- azalea is colorful.
Moscow
Although the capital of Russia is located much north of Sochi, everything here also comes to life and decorates the city. Muscovites and guests of the capital, who arrived in the spring, know which trees bloom in May in Moscow and give it a festive look and comfort: hawthorn, chestnut, Manchurian walnut, acacia. Also in the parks you can find a lot of flowering trees such as apricots, terry almonds, apple trees and lilacs. If the spring is hot, in May linden can begin to bloom, if, on the contrary, the cold does not recede for a long time, poplar or willow can continue lingering flowering.
Despite the many buildings (a tribute to the metropolis of our time) Moscow is rich in green areas. Not to mention the lands near Moscow, where the townspeople can "break out" to enjoy nature. Trees during flowering give the city a more delicate look, and a person can enjoy a piece of nature even in the stone jungle.
Peter
The northern capital of Russia is known for its rich history, palaces and fountains. The climate there is not as severe as in the Far East, but it rarely spoils residents with really hot days. But few people know that in St. Petersburg there is a wonderful botanical garden that combines the "home" flora and "foreign guests".
Wind, cold, rains and dullness are usual days for Peter, it is interesting that neither Petersburgers nor guests stop loving him. But it is precisely this eternally autumnal mood that makes the arrival of spring a real holiday. Residents of the Northern capital are trying to find time to visit parks, gardens and find out which trees bloom in May in St. Petersburg this spring. Because of the weather, the flowering time may vary in different years.
Walking through the streets or the botanical garden of St. Petersburg, you can admire, and then tell friends and acquaintances which trees bloom in May in the city. These are such as:
- sakura;
- Apple tree;
- cherry;
- horse chestnut;
- rose tree;
- bird cherry;
- alder.
Far East
The next stop of the virtual journey "In the footsteps of spring" is the Far East. The climate of this part of the country, as they say, is not for the faint of heart and heat-loving. For example, in the village of Oymyakon, in winter the temperature drops to –50 о С, and on a summer day it can rise up to +30 о С (and at night it can drop by 20 degrees).
But, of course, not all the territories of the Far East are so snowy, and here spring comes.
Let's find out which trees bloom in late May in the Far East? We can meet here:
- Mongolian oak;
- Amur linden;
- Amur velvet;
- seven-bladed calopanax;
- Manchu Aralia;
- Manchurian apple tree;
- small-fruited alder;
- cherry Maximovich;
- Daurian birch;
- ordinary pine.
How trees bloom
You don't have to be a nerd to love nature. Sooner or later, everyone gets tired of the hustle and bustle, and seek to at least get a little closer to nature. Especially in spring, people try to find time and go to the park, mountains or to the country. Fortunately, in our country May is very generous for the weekend, so almost everyone has such an opportunity.
A person far from in-depth knowledge of botany is attracted and surprised by trees covered with flowers. Often we enjoy the view without even knowing what the tree is called. Let's have a little educational program and find out:
- Which tree blooms with white flowers in May? A lot of trees bloom with white flowers, of course, they all differ in size, shape and aroma. For example, an apple tree blooms in large pink and white flowers that strew the whole tree with a lush hat. The flowers of bird cherry are small, white, as if they were put on a stem, hanging down with a brush. On thin reddish branches of cherry, 3-5 relatively large white (five-leafed) flowers are collected. Some types of magnolia also bloom with white, huge flowers.
- How do conifers bloom? The flowers of these trees are cones and spikelets. For example, pine blossoms with male flowers - yellow spikelets, and female - small pink cones.
Everyone will agree: the weekend in nature is also exhausting (by the way, no more than shopping). But coming to work on Monday after the May holidays, the first thing you want to say to your colleagues: "Ah, what trees bloom in early May!"
Trees against man
People are waiting for spring, its warm sunshine, which will drive away dullness, melt ice and wake nature. How wonderful to go outside and breathe in the aroma of apple or cherry! But unfortunately, not all people rejoice in spring, and not all trees are so harmless in a beautiful flowering season.
Every year, more and more people are allergic to tree pollen. You must admit that it is difficult to maintain a high spring mood when your head hurts, your eyes itch and watery, your nose is itchy and you constantly want to sneeze.
In May, the population especially suffers from the flowering of the following trees:
- and you;
- oak;
- ash;
- maple tree;
- pine trees;
- ate;
- hazel;
- poplars.
If representatives of these “dangerous” species are present in your region in a large volume, and you are allergic, you better take a vacation and go on a trip or stock up on necessary preparations.
