Dear all of you, especially the plant physiologists,
Can you an explanation why this tree is blooming like this (see the photos attached). I tried to look for all theories related to flowering but not found any fitted to explain in this case.
Please give me a hint. Thank you very much.

Tri Bui Looking at all links given at your previous post https://www.researchgate.net/post/Why_these_trees_flowering_only_on_one_side I would say that grafting two different scions on one rootstock is the most probable answer (all shown trees have two big branches). Second possible reason - road surface effect (asphalt, water & nutrients deficiency under road, higher soil temperature).
It could be because of the light it receives… Have you keely observed which side of it receives the most light (photoperiod)? May be the other side of the tree qualitatively receives more or lesser photoperiod that accounts for qualitative variation in blooming.
You should also check for air pockets. This can also lead to uneven distribution of water and translocation of nutrients, resulting in such a discrepancy in blooming.
