According to sellers, this year's peach blossom prices are slightly higher than last year's because the peach blossoms bloom early, so there will be few beautiful branches left near Tet. Old peach branches with moss and mold satisfy even the most demanding customers, with prices ranging from several million to tens of millions depending on the size and shape of the peach branch...
