According to observations by reporters on the morning of January 27th (the 28th day of the 12th lunar month), many Tet ornamental plants remain unsold at various locations in Vinh City. Some vendors have only sold 30-50% of their plants, with only one day left until New Year's Eve.

72 mét — Along the Vinh - Cua Lo Boulevard, many people stood in the freezing weather selling peach blossoms. Most were garden-grown peaches from the outskirts of Vinh and neighboring districts; however, the number of buyers was not large. Photo: QA

Mr. Nguyen Van Minh, the owner of a peach blossom stall in Vinh City, said: "This year I imported nearly 300 peach blossom trees from northern provinces to sell, but today, the 28th day of the lunar month, I've only sold over 100. With only one day left, I don't know if I'll be able to sell them all. Many people come to inquire, but very few actually buy. This year I'm definitely going to lose money." (Photo: QA)

đào huyền — Among the various types of peach blossoms, the "Huyền" peach blossom remains a popular choice due to its reasonable price and delicate shape. Currently, the price of "Huyền" peach blossoms ranges from 500,000 to 1.5 million VND per branch, which has decreased by about half compared to previous days. Photo: QA

xả 5 — Among ornamental plants, apricot blossom trees are selling the worst this Tet holiday. Many vendors still have a large number of trees, but there are few buyers. In the photo: An apricot blossom tree stall on the 72-meter road is deserted. Photo: QA

Compared to apricot and peach blossoms, kumquat trees are more popular during Tet (Vietnamese New Year), especially bonsai kumquat trees, which are smaller in size and cost around 200,000 - 500,000 VND. This year, due to economic difficulties and reduced incomes, people are choosing cheaper, more affordable options. Photo: QA

Due to sluggish sales, some vendors selling Tet apricot blossoms put up signs advertising a clearance sale on the 28th day of the lunar month, but buyers remained scarce. Photo: QA

Many peach blossom trees have bloomed after a long wait for buyers. Many small traders are hoping that in the last days of the year, people will take advantage of the opportunity to support them, increasing purchasing power to have a warmer Tet holiday. Photo: QA
