To meet the demand for peach blossoms for Tet, many traders have brought Sa Pa peach blossom pots to the flower market area on Lac Long Quan Street (Tay Ho, Hanoi) to sell. The owners of these peach trees said that this type of peach has been grown and shaped in Sa Pa for many years, and only when the trees reach their beauty and ripeness are they sold on the market.

Because Sa Pa peach trees have their own characteristics, which are rough tree trunks, large flower buds, thick petals that are very eye-catching," the owners of Sa Pa peach trees for sale shared.

An ancient Sa Pa peach tree with a huge shape is being sold by its owner for more than 50 million VND. The price of this peach tree has been reduced significantly compared to the original asking price. Sa Pa peach trees are easily recognized by the moss that grows on their trunks.

"The flower buds are large, the petals are thick, the colors are bright, and they don't fade for a long time, so mountain peach trees are very popular for Tet. This year, my family has about 1,000 Sa Pa peach trees of various types, divided into many selling points in the provinces and cities. But in general, this year the buying and selling atmosphere is slower than in previous years. The price of trees is also about 10-15% lower than the same time last year," a Sa Pa peach seller shared.
