The golden marbles usually bloom between March and April every year. The flowers are light yellow. The flowers are like bottles. They smell like orchids.
There are male and female plants, both of which will bloom, but the flowers are not the same. Generally, the male plant of the golden marbles blooms, and many flowers come out under the leaf buds. The flowers are like small lanterns, and you can see the stamens when you open them. When the female plant blooms, there are only one or two flowers under the leaf bud, and the flowers are relatively large. The flowers look like persimmon flowers, and young fruits can be seen in the flowers.
The golden marbles usually bloom in March, and the female plants begin to bear fruit in May. In October, the fruit turns orange, just like the marbles. Male plants generally do not bear fruit, even if the fruit will not bear too much, but can be grafted to bear fruit. The autumn flower of jintanzi can also bear fruit, but the fruit is smaller than that of jintanzi in spring.
