| Currently, the main way of caring for the rengran tree is by local people in two ways: by specifically cultivating the rengran tree and by mixed cultivation. Mr. Nguyen Van Hanh, residing in Thanh Xuan commune (Thanh Chuong), said that his family's rengran hill of over 1.5 hectares only cultivates the rengran tree, which brings 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: rancid and sim. The green sim - rancid hills yield 3 products: rancid trees, sim fruit and ornamental sim trees. Mr. Phan Thai Xuan in Thanh Xuan commune (Thanh Chuong) is currently enclosure for more than 2 hectares of mixed sim - rancid hills, one of the households that encloses the most rancid 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 tamarind tree. Harvesting the tamarind tree is quite hard because it has to be cut on the hill 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 leaves (cutting both large and small trees at the same time) and pruning (selecting large trees). Some households combine both methods, pruning at the beginning of the year and cutting the leaves 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 as firewood. Since the day the tree "reigned", the wild tree has been fenced and bought and sold bustlingly to make brooms and extract essential oils. The harvest season clearly brings 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 obvious harvest season has created jobs for hundreds of workers. They cut trees, dry them, knead them, bundle them, and transport them onto trucks... Each day, one 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 tree is being imported for 6,000 - 7,000 VND/kg, dried tree without crushed leaves is 11,000 - 12,000 VND/kg, dried tree with crushed leaves is 22,000 VND/kg. Dried tree leaves and flowers are sold by the bag, 120,000 VND/bag. As a naturally growing tree, no investment costs, although the price of tree has dropped, farmers are still excited.
