In early November of the lunar calendar, farmers in Da Bac district are busy taking care of peach trees in their gardens. This is considered the last important stage before bringing commercial peach trees to serve customers on the occasion of Lunar New Year 2025. Photo: Tran Trong |
Peach cultivation often depends a lot on the weather, but there are still certain skills for a successful crop, in which leaf stripping is an important factor. Weather and human hands are factors that affect the blooming of flowers. Photo: Tran Trong |
If the leaf stripping process is done at the right time and the weather is favorable, the peach tree will produce large, beautiful, even and timely flower buds. Photo: Tran Trong |
With more than 10 years of experience growing peach trees, Mr. Tran Thien Tu - Owner of Thanh Tu peach garden, Truc Son hamlet, Toan Son commune, Da Bac district shared: "Usually, leaf stripping will start at the end of October and the beginning of November of the lunar calendar, about 50 - 60 days before Tet. In years when the weather is very cold, leaf stripping needs to be done a few days earlier." Photo: Tran Trong |
Gardeners will start selling peach blossoms and become busy from around the 10th day of the 12th lunar month until Tet. The price of Anh Tu's Tet peach blossoms is expected to range from 100 - 400 VND/branch, while the price of peach trees is from 500,000 - 1,500,000 VND/small tree and the price of large trees can range from 10 to 20 million VND/tree.

According to Mr. Tu, this year many peach gardens were affected by the storm, and in some cases, the entire crop was lost due to prolonged waterlogging. Therefore, the price of peach trees this year may be slightly higher than last year. Thanh Tu peach garden has more than 100 peach trees, and has not suffered much damage, so the selling price this year will remain the same as last year. Photo: Tran Trong |
In addition to stripping leaves, taking care of peach trees for Tet also includes shaping, pruning, and shaping the tree to achieve a beautiful shape that suits the tastes of buyers. Photo: Tran Trong |
Providing enough water for peach trees is also very important as temperatures have been dropping in recent days. Photo: Tran Trong |
Talking to reporters, Mr. Bui Khac Vinh - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Da Bac district said: "The peach growing area of people in the district this year is largely unaffected by weather and natural disasters. Through the survey, up to now, this type of crop is growing very favorably, the climate is also very supportive for farmers". Photo: Tran Trong |
According to Mr. Vinh, Da Bac has suitable climate and soil conditions for peach trees, thanks to which people in the highlands have a stable income at the end of the year. In addition, the trend of peach prices this year may be higher than last year because many growing areas have lost crops and suffered damage due to storms and floods. Photo: Tran Trong |
