Million-dollar stone peach branches begin to appear in the highlands of Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - Although it is still about 2 weeks before Lunar New Year, at this time in some highland villages of Ky Son district, people have started cutting down stone peach trees to sell to customers. Notably, many of these peach branches are worth millions of dong.
 |
| Since 2 days ago, in some localities of Ky Son district such as Dooc May, Huoi Tu, Muong Long, Nam Can, Tay Son... people have started to cut down and dig up rocks to sell to customers along the roadside. |
 |
| In the houses, many peach branches are also collected by traders to transport downstream. |
 |
| Peach blossoms in the mountainous district of Ky Son are popular with players because they bloom right on Tet. Currently, many pink buds have appeared on the peach branches. |
 |
| Another feature that makes this type of peach sought after is that it grows and develops in high mountains with cold climates, so there is a lot of moss and mold around it. |

 |
| To help the flowers stay fresh longer, when people cut down the peach tree, they bury it in a bamboo tube, then pour water and put the peach in it. |
 |
| However, some traders said that this year, peach trees are rarer and less beautiful, so many branches are expensive and difficult to buy. In the photo: A "huge" peach branch costs more than 5 million VND in Tay Son commune (Ky Son). |
 |
| A peach blossom branch has just been cut and many people are competing to buy it even though it costs over 2 million VND. |
 |
| Not as many and early as previous years, however, at this time in Muong Xen town, some scattered peach branches for sale along the roadside have begun to appear. |
 |
| The exploitation of ancient stone trees during Tet is common in the border district of Ky Son. Many people are concerned that with this exploitation method, in a few years, the peach and plum capital of Ky Son will only be a memory. |
