Ancient Son La peach tree worth nearly 100 million attracts customers in Ho Chi Minh City

TPO - Over the past week, gardeners in the North have been transporting giant peach trees for sale at 23/9 Park (District 1, HCMC), with prices ranging from tens to hundreds of millions of dong.

These days, 23/9 Park is busier than usual. Hundreds of peach trees from the North are on sale, making a corner of the sky bright pink.

Mr. Nguyen Van Son (living in Hanoi) said that this year his family brought 400 peach trees to Ho Chi Minh City to sell, including 10 ancient peach trees. The ancient peach trees were sold for 70-100 million VND. "My family has sold half of the peach trees. Some peach trees priced at nearly 100 million VND have been purchased," Mr. Son said.

A peach tree worth hundreds of millions is on sale. These are peach trees from Son La forest, dozens of years old, grafted and carefully fertilized. The flowers have begun to bloom, waiting for customers to come and buy.

Mr. Son said that his family's peach garden along the Red River was severely damaged after Typhoon Yagi. To have these 400 peach trees, his family had to spend a lot of time taking care of them. Sticking to his family's traditional profession, Mr. Son has spent more than 10 years traveling to the South to do business during the last days of the year. Late in the afternoon of the 29th of Tet, he took the last bus of the day to return home to celebrate Tet.

Connoisseurs often prefer perennial peach varieties with sturdy trunks, even blooming flowers and a distinctive pink color.

An ancient peach tree worth 70 million VND is on sale at 23/9 park.

The peach blossoms in full bloom attract the attention of the locals. Some people wearing ao dai take the opportunity to come here to take souvenir photos.

In addition to ancient peach trees, small peach branches priced from several hundred thousand Dong also attract customers.

The delivery team is busy with work to deliver flowers to customers' homes on time.

From Nha Be district, Ms. Kim Xuyen and her grandchildren took the bus to District 1 to visit, take pictures, and shop for Tet. "I bought a mini apricot flower pot for 250,000 VND, it's very beautiful and cheap. The house is small and the road is long, so I don't buy big flower pots," Ms. Xuyen said.

Colorful hybrid chrysanthemums of Dutch and Korean varieties are new flowers sold at the flower market this year, alongside dahlias, sunflowers, cockscombs, etc. Ms. Minh Ai said that her shop sells hybrid chrysanthemums in pots made of coconut fiber, which is environmentally friendly. "A pair of these chrysanthemums is sold for 450,000-550,000 VND, higher than the market price because they are new varieties and not much is available," Ms. Minh Ai said.

Phalaenopsis orchids of various colors are also sold at this Tet flower market.

In addition to peach blossoms, five-color bougainvillea, chrysanthemums, and apricot blossoms are also sold in abundance in this area. These are familiar flowers that traders bring from the West to Ho Chi Minh City to sell every Lunar New Year.

Foreign visitors are delighted with the variety of Tet flowers on display.
