This is the only wild tree in Israel that blooms solely in pink in the springtime. Its blossoms are particularly prominent because they appear before the leaves, and not only on the branches but on the trunk as well. A hint of blossoms sometimes appears in the autumn and at the height of winter after a few consecutive warm days. This temporary increase in temperature is sufficient to cause a slight blossoming, but the subsequent return of the cold prevents continued development and these blossoms do not ripen into fruit Issue: December 2018 Other Philatelic products issued in December 2018
