The apricot tree has many buds and was bought by Ms. Linh from Tra Vinh province more than a year ago. "I hired someone to dig it up, lift it onto a truck and bring it home to take care of it completely naturally, without cutting or grafting," Ms. Linh said.
Many bonsai players came to see and commented that this was an old apricot tree, not less than 100 years old.
To make the apricot tree bloom in time for Tet, the homeowner had to hire four people to pick the leaves for three days. The apricot trees were then transported by truck to the gateway to Can Tho City on Quang Trung Street, Cai Rang District for sale.
