According to records, peaches sold are mainly garden peaches, the quantity of stone peaches this year is somewhat scarcer. Trucks transporting peaches from communes such as Nghi An, Nghi Lien (Vinh City), Nam Anh, Nam Xuan (Nam Dan)... are increasingly pouring into Vinh City. Photo: QA

Children take advantage of the Tet holiday to help their parents sell peach blossoms. Nguyen Trung Quan, Nghi An commune (Vinh city) said: "My brother and I each have a peach blossom branch and stand with our mother to sell. Our mother promised that if we finished selling early, she would let us go shopping for Tet early, so everyone tried to invite customers to sell the peach blossoms...". Photo: QA

Because the quantity of peach trees this year is less than last year, each peach branch displayed attracts many people to come and see and bargain, especially peach trees with many buds, beautiful shapes and not too high prices. Photo: QA

It is known that the current price of garden peach trees ranges from 500,000 - 3 million VND/tree, this price is considered quite reasonable when buying at this time near Tet. Photo: QA

There are stone peach trees transported from Ky Son, still intact and wild, covered with thick green moss, priced from 5 to 10 million. The reason for the high price is because this type of peach tree is limited in quantity, and the cost of transporting it to Vinh is very high. Photo: QA

Faced with a surge in buyers over the weekend, authorities have been deployed to remind businesses not to encroach on traffic safety corridors and sidewalks, and to strictly implement epidemic prevention measures when buying and selling peach blossoms. Photo: QA
