(Baonghean.vn) - On the evening of the 30th of Tet, peach blossom shops and fresh flower gardens were deserted, and some traders even cut down a series of peach branches, accepting losses.

On the afternoon of the 30th of Tet, in Vinh City, many peach trees brought from Son La could not be sold, forcing the owners to cut them down to prepare for Tet. Mr. Pham Van Trung, a trader in Nghi An Commune - Vinh City, said that this Tet, there was a peach tree brought from Son La that lost up to 50 million VND, because the Son La peach trees were young and did not bloom in time for Tet due to the hot weather.

However, kumquat trees in Vinh City still had many customers until the afternoon of the 30th of Tet. Medium-sized kumquat trees cost 300,000 - 350,000 VND/tree. Photo: Hai Vuong

In some localities, on the afternoon of the 30th of Tet, there were still quite a lot of kumquat trees, but they were difficult to sell because of the hot weather and withered trees, although traders reduced the price to only half compared to the 29th of Tet.
