| In the days leading up to Tet, the streets on Lenin Avenue become bustling as many traders continue to "pour" peach blossoms to supply the Tet holiday needs of city residents. Most of them are peach blossoms and newly cut peach blossoms from the garden. Photo: Lam Tung |

| Mr. Tran Van Chien - a peach trader from Son La province said: The price of peaches near Tet this year has increased quite strongly, the selling price of a normal Son La peach branch is already 1 million VND, and beautiful bonsai branches with many buds and flowers, green shoots must be sold for at least 3 million VND. The high price of peaches is because this year the weather is warm and sunny, peaches have bloomed earlier, so the market supply is scarcer. Photo: Lam Tung |

| Besides Son La peaches, peaches transported from Laos also attract people to buy. These types of peaches are very expensive, few people can afford them. Many people ask and then leave because the price is challenged to tens of millions of dong. Photo: Lam Tung |

| The characteristic of Laotian rock peach that many people like is the rough, mossy appearance of the peach trunk, although the flowers are only a few flowers per branch. Photo: Lam Tung |

| The price of Lao peaches on the market this year for Tet is also quite expensive, from 7 to 14 million VND/branch. Mr. Tu, who sells Lao peaches, said that the price of Lao peaches this year is high because the purchase price in the neighboring country is already quite high; besides, the border gate fee for each truck carrying 20 to 30 peaches is 27 million VND, plus the transportation cost to Vinh, so the selling price this year is much higher than previous years.

| Although the kumquat market is expensive this year, sales are not good. Ms. Tam, who sells kumquats on Le Nin Avenue, said that the price of imported kumquats this year in Hung Yen is 20% higher than last year. She imported 200 trees but has only sold 50 so far. Photo: Lam Tung |

| Meanwhile, the price of bonsai kumquat is not cheap, being offered from 1.5 - 7 million VND/pot. Photo: Lam Tung |

| Yellow apricot business households are worried when the sunny weather has almost completely bloomed; but the price of apricot during Tet is also quite high, with prices starting from 1.5 million for small pots and over 3 million for large, beautiful pots. In general, Nhat Tan peach and yellow apricot are picky about buyers, and the high price of peach makes the peach market even more sluggish. Photo: Lam Tung |
