An Nhon town is considered the largest apricot capital in the Central region. There are thousands of households growing apricots here, with an area of about 145 hectares. Apricot growing contributes to increasing income and creating jobs for local people. In recent years, Tet apricots have brought in a large source of income for An Nhon town. Photo: Truong Dinh |

According to gardeners, picking apricot leaves is considered an important step, requiring a lot of experience to calculate carefully. Apricot leaves picked at this time are mainly for sale to the northern market. Because the weather in the northern provinces is somewhat colder, they must be picked early. Photo: Truong Dinh |

“The apricot tree mainly depends on the weather. If the leaves are picked early and the weather is warm and sunny, the flowers will bloom fully. If it is cold, the flowers will not bloom and it will be considered abandoned,” said Mr. Nguyen Van Sanh, 65 years old, Trung Dinh village. Currently, the apricot growing area has increased a lot, while the apricot market is also saturated, and purchasing power is not as strong as before. Players now prefer bonsai apricot.

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Thi, 56 years old, Trung Dinh village said, at this time, not many people come to see the apricot blossoms, usually at the beginning of next month. Currently, there are still people coming to see the apricot blossoms, but mainly they go "miles" to see first. Photo: Truong Dinh |

Taking advantage of the off-season, people pick up fruits for extra income to prepare for Tet. Currently, a worker earns 180,000 - 200,000 VND per day. Photo: Truong Dinh |
