| Mr. Lau Ba Ngon - a resident of Nam Can commune (Ky Son) said that after harvesting peach blossoms from the fields, he uses a motorbike to transport them to Muong Xen town to sell. If he is lucky enough to find a beautiful peach branch, it is easy to sell and "get" a good price, otherwise each trip only brings in 1.5 - 2 million VND. However, to find a satisfactory peach branch, people have to spend all day searching. Photo: Xuan Hoang |

| Beautiful peach branches must combine elements like that: many branches, many and plump buds, mossy tree trunks... Peach branches like that are sought after by traders, even if the price is a little higher, they are willing to pay. Photo: Q.An |

| In particular, in the Muong Xen town area, there is a stone peach tree found by the highlanders, then traders bought it and sold it for 40 million VND. This peach tree is about 3m high, 4m wide, with many buds. According to traders, this may be the "biggest" stone peach tree in Ky Son this year. Photo: Q.An |

| However, according to traders, this year's Ky Son stone peach trees are not as beautiful as previous years, because most of them are slow to bloom and have small buds. According to Mr. Tho Ba Re - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ky Son district, there are no statistics on how many stone peach branches are sold on the market each Tet holiday, but this is one of the products that creates income for a part of the local people.
