"I think this hilly land is suitable for growing roses. Before, we mainly grew forestry trees, but since switching to growing roses, we have found it much more effective. Especially, Nam Anh roses have a brand name, so traders come to buy them at home. This year, the output and selling price are both better than last year," said Mr. Thang.

According to the people, this is a tree with high economic value that no other crop can replace because persimmon is suitable for the climate and soil of the Dai Hue mountainside area. It is quite simple to grow because after harvesting, you only need to weed, hoe the soil around the base and fertilize 1 to 2 times, and it will bear fruit again in season.
