Admire the giant wild peach tree worth 80 million VND
The owner planted the peach tree in the lowlands 5 years after bringing it back from Lao Cai. The owner of the peach tree is worth up to 80 million VND.
Appearing at the My Dinh spring fair (Hanoi), the wild peach tree originating from Van Ban district (Lao Cai) surprised many people with its trunk as big as an adult, rough bark, and pink flowers bearing the beauty of the Northwest mountains and forests.
Mr. Huan - the owner of the wild peach tree - said that this is the first time he has brought this peach tree to Hanoi to sell after 5 years of growing it in the garden. The selling price ranges from 70 million to 80 million VND.
"It was very difficult to bring a peach tree this big from Lao Cai to the lowlands. After getting the tree from the mountain, I had to ask many people to move the tree down to the national highway, then had to hire a crane to transport it to Nam Dinh. Taking care of the tree is also very costly in terms of both material and effort," Mr. Huan shared.
The peach tree has a diameter of about 50cm and is nearly 5m high.
When bringing the tree to Nam Dinh, the tree was lush and healthy, the owner cut and trimmed the branches appropriately.
According to Mr. Huan, this is an original wild peach tree, not grafted so the flowers have natural beauty.
Because it has been planted in the lowlands for several years, the tree's bark is not as mossy as it was at first.
Peach branches of the Northwest forest have a unique beauty, imbued with the mountains and forests, and strong weather resistance.
To make the peach tree bloom, the owner of the peach tree uses a gas torch to burn the base, then places it in a bottle or milk carton containing water mixed with B1.
According to peach garden owners, wild peach trees have ancient trunks, naturally blooming peach blossoms and high durability, and can be enjoyed from Tet until the end of the first full moon of the lunar year.
