| These days, in border communes such as Tay Son, Huoi Tu, Muong Long, Nam Can, Na Ngoi... in Ky Son district (Nghe An), the temperature drops, and clouds cover the whole day. However, this is also the time when border products such as peach blossoms, plum blossoms, roses... show off their colors in the cold. Photo: Xuan Hoang |

| The persimmon trees were first planted in 1996, from a project to support the eradication of opium poppies implemented by Ky Son district. Although the persimmon tree is not a native tree, it is very suitable for the climate of this border district. On cold winter days, the bright red persimmon trees stand out in the fog, making everyone admire. Photo: Quang An |

Persimmons in the mountainous district of Ky Son do not use fertilizers or preservatives. When ripe, the persimmons are bright red, juicy and very sweet. Photo: Lu Phu |

| Taking advantage of the weather, people in the Ky Son highlands are actively harvesting persimmons to sell to traders because if they are left too long, the quality of the persimmons will decrease and they will fall off. It is known that, given the effectiveness of persimmons, households will continue to grow this variety of tree in the coming years. Photo: Quang An |
