The painting depicts a prunus tree. The tree has a thick, gnarled trunk that twists and turns to the right. The trunk splits into several large branches that extend upwards and outwards. The branches are adorned with small, delicate flowers. A large moon is visible in the upper-left corner of the painting. The background of the painting is a warm, brown color. There is a column of Chinese calligraphy on the left side. The painting has a thin beige border around the edges.
