Pine, bamboo and plum are called "three friends of ancient cold", which is the traditional gardening technique of China gardens. Mei and Ao Shuang are unique in early spring; Bamboo, if the mind is empty, will not wither in winter; Loose, vigorous and simple, evergreen all the year round. Planting them together has far-reaching significance. The pine trees planted in Meiyuan can be black pine or white pine, both of which are tall trees. We can use them as the green background of plum blossoms or trim them into beautiful bonsai trees.
