| Currently, the local people mainly take care of the Roan tree in two ways: exclusively cultivating Roan tree and mixed cultivation. Mr. Nguyen Van Hanh, residing in Thanh Xuan commune (Thanh Chuong), said that his family's Roan hill of more than 1.5 hectares only cultivates Roan tree, bringing in an income of about 70 million VND/year.

| As for mixed enclosures, from the mixed hills, people clear away bushes, weeds... leaving only 2 main types of trees: Roan Roan and Sim. The green Sim - Roan Roan hills yield 3 products: Roan Roan trees, Sim fruits and ornamental Sim trees. Mr. Phan Thai Xuan in Thanh Xuan commune (Thanh Chuong) is currently enclosure more than 2 hectares of mixed Sim - Roan Roan hills, one of the households that enclose the most Roan Roan trees in the commune.

| Taking advantage of the hot days, farmers in some communes in Thanh Chuong and Nam Dan districts are actively harvesting the trees. Harvesting the trees is quite hard because they have to be cut on the hills and dried in the hot sun. Photo: Huy Thu |

| Depending on the locality, people can harvest the trees at different times, but currently people mainly cut the trees in April and May, when the trees are at their most leafy and flowery. Photo: Huy Thu |
 |
| There are two main harvesting methods: cutting the whole tree (cutting both big and small trees) and pruning (selecting big trees). Some households combine both methods, pruning at the beginning of the year and cutting the whole tree at the end of the year. Each harvesting method has its own advantages. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lanh in Thuong Tan Loc commune (Nam Dan) said that her family is hiring 3-4 workers every day to trim several hills of trees. Photo: Huy Thu. |

| Households that take good care of the trees, remove all weeds and weeds, and fertilize with urea 1-3 times will have good quality trees with many branches, leaves, and high productivity. In bare hills that are not fertilized, the trees will be short and sparse. Photo: Huy Thu |

| Previously, the tree was not very valuable, sometimes only used for firewood. Since the day the tree "came to power", the wild tree has been fenced and traded busily to make brooms and extract essential oils. The harvest season has clearly brought a good income to the people. Some households earn hundreds of millions of VND/year. Photo: Huy Thu |

| The harvest season is clear, households can do it themselves or hire workers to cut the trees. Currently, many households sell "crows" (approximately) on the hill to traders, then they hire workers to harvest, rent cars, tractors to transport... Photo: Huy Thu |
 |
| The clear harvest season has created jobs for hundreds of workers. They cut the trees, dry them, knead them, bundle them, and transport them onto trucks... Each day, a person can earn from 220,000 to 350,000 VND, depending on the locality. Photo: Huy Thu |

| According to farmers, this year, the price of the tree has clearly dropped compared to previous years. Currently, fresh trees are being imported for 6,000 - 7,000 VND/kg, dried trees without crushed leaves are 11,000 - 12,000 VND/kg, dried trees with crushed leaves are 22,000 VND/kg. Dried trees and flowers are sold by the bag, 120,000 VND/bag. As a naturally growing tree, it does not require investment costs, although the price of trees has dropped, farmers are still excited.
