3. Giant lemon fruit in Da Lat
Not only squash or tomatoes, Da Lat city is also the place where giant lemons are grown, with each fruit weighing from 2 - 3kg, some up to 6kg. Mature lemon trees can produce 20 or more fruits per crop, helping farmers earn large profits. Although the lemon tree trunk is small and about 2m high, because the fruit is heavy and the branches are easy to break, garden owners must use bamboo or wood to support it, ensuring the tree can grow healthily.
