| Ms. Bui Thi Dong, a peach vendor on Tran Phu Street, said: "This year I imported 200 Nhat Tan peach trees to sell for Tet. However, on the 15th day of the 12th lunar month, the peach trees started to bloom. By the time of the Kitchen God worship ceremony, many trees had bloomed more than 50% of their buds. Customers do not want to buy peach trees that bloom early, so I am very worried...". Photo: Nguyen Chau |

| In the past few sunny days, some peach trees have almost all their buds blooming, covering them in bright pink even though it is still a week before the New Year. Photo: Nguyen Chau |

| Many peach branches after blooming, petals fall thickly to the ground. It is known that the reason why peach blossoms bloom early is partly due to the warm and sunny weather, and also, many businesses imported goods too early, leading to the peach blossoms blooming early. Photo: Nguyen Chau |

| To minimize the blooming of peach trees, many traders have tied up peach trees, not letting the petals spread out, avoiding direct sunlight. Only when customers ask to buy peach trees do they untie them to show the shape. In addition, traders are now forced to lower the price of peach trees that have bloomed to sell quickly because the longer they are left, the more their value will decrease, and the number of buyers will decrease.

| Some households anticipated the peach blossoms blooming early, so they chose the right time to import the goods, so the buds are still intact and the flowers have not bloomed much. These peach trees are being carefully cared for to bloom on time, hoping to sell for a high price. Photo: Nguyen Chau |
