(Baonghean.vn) - The gardens of roses laden with fruit, bright red in the cold and fog are a natural gift to the land of Muong Long, Ky Son district on these cold days.

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

Mr. Lau Ba Tu, Muong Long 1 village, Muong Long commune said: "My family has been growing persimmons for more than 10 years now. The persimmon harvest season is from September to November, but some persimmon gardens ripen late, lasting until December like now..."

Mr. Va Cha Xa - Chairman of Muong Long Commune People's Committee said: The whole commune has about 50 perennial wild rose trees, planted scattered in the villages.

Persimmons in the mountainous district of Ky Son do not use fertilizers or preservatives. When ripe, 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 past the due date, 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
