(Baonghean.vn) - For a long time, it was thought that only the northern provinces had the curved peach trees that had caused a "fever" in the market in recent years. However, right in the border commune of Na Ngoi, Nghe An, the Mong ethnic youth Lau Ba Ha owns 5 hectares of this "aristocratic" peach variety.
Starting in 2021, Lau Ba Ha (born in 1994) - a Mong ethnic boy in Na Ngoi has successfully planted nearly 6,000 peach trees on the land in Ca Noi village.

After that, he teamed up with Mr. Tran Van Thanh - an experienced person in growing peach trees in Bac Giang to go to Ky Son to renovate the peach fields.

The peach tree must be planted from a small embryo and raised to become a straight tree 4-5m tall within 2-3 years. Then the canopy is shaped and shaped.

Some hills will be ready to be cut and sold by this Tet, some hills are about 2 years old, some hills are only a few months old.

Each peach tree, if well cared for and with proper techniques, can be exploited up to 10-12 times from the sprouts.

Unlike wild peach trees that are currently focusing on nurturing ripe fruit, the growers of the peach orchard are pruning the leaves and picking the fruit to focus on nurturing the trunk and branches. Photo: Hoai ThuDue to the meticulous care, growers of curved peach trees like Lau Ba Ha have to stay on the hill constantly, rarely resting. It is estimated that by Tet 2024, he will supply the market with about 3,000 curved peach branches.

However, the model of growing curved peach trees of Mr. Lau Ba Ha is quite new, opening a new direction for the local people. In addition to cutting branches to sell during Tet, the hills and fields planted methodically and planned properly like Mr. Ha's will be attractive tourist destinations, creating a typical product for the land of Na Ngoi".
