Nhat Tan farmers busy 'reviving' peach gardens after Tet

Nhat Tan peach garden is one of the famous destinations in Hanoi, especially during the annual Lunar New Year.

With an area of up to thousands of square meters, Nhat Tan peach garden is where many different peach varieties are grown, from peach blossom to peach blossom...

Gardeners in Nhat Tan have been busy "reviving" their peach gardens right after the recent holiday.

Ms. Huong, who lives in Phu Thuong Ward (Tay Ho District, Hanoi City), said that this morning she had just bought boxes of peach seedlings to plant for the next Tet crop. The work of "reviving" peach gardens is one of the most important tasks of Nhat Tan peach farmers right after Tet.

In 2024, due to the impact of storm No. 3 (YAGI), a large number of peach trees in Nhat Tan died due to flooding. Planting small peach trees requires a lot of care as well as a large amount of fertilizer to help the trees grow quickly.

This work includes many different steps, from pruning peach branches to fertilizing and watering. "The work of 'reviving' the peach garden is very important," said Nguyen Van Minh, a farmer at Nhat Tan peach garden. "If this work is not done, the peach garden will not be able to return to its best state and will affect the new peach season."

People water and care for newly planted peach trees.

In addition to watering in the morning and afternoon, it is necessary to ensure adequate nutrition for the plants and prevent pests and diseases during the humid season. "In addition, to ensure that the new soil has enough nutrients, we have to manually spread fertilizer on each tree. Every day, we prune old and withered branches so that new buds can grow...", shared Mr. Hung, a peach grower in Nhat Tan.
