Leading us to the bonsai garden, Mr. Ngo introduced all kinds of trees, from banyan trees, lotus trees, mulberry trees, pine trees to star fruit trees, guava trees,... each tree has a different shape and position. But when approaching the main gate, Mr. Ngo immediately stood under the tree, touched and stroked it with an excited expression and then boasted: "That is my unique super myrtle tree in Vietnam. When I bought it, I had to choose a location near the main gate to plant it. Visitors can freely admire it."
Mr. Ngo said that in Vietnam, the myrtle tree is not rare, there are many, but most of them are big trees, with only 1-2 trunks. This myrtle tree has a natural shape, with dragons gathering, it is unique, you cannot find a second one in Vietnam.
“The tree has 19 dragon trunks winding in different directions, each trunk is 3.5 - 4m long, from the base to the top of the tree is about 3m high, the canopy is 6m long on one side, and 13m long on the other. Standing at the gate looking in, the tree looks like a paper fan spreading out.”

Mr. Ngo added that the myrtle tree produces leaves all year round. In spring, the tree sprouts, flowers and bears fruit. By September, the fruit is as big as the tip of a little finger and ripens. When ripe, the fruit has a beautiful purple color. Anyone who likes it can pick it and eat it. It has a sweet, slightly astringent taste that is very delicious.
In addition, the leaves of the super bonsai tree can be brewed into water to drink like guava juice. However, this water has a slightly sour taste but when drunk, it has its own appeal and is not completely like guava juice.
Talking about the tree's age, Mr. Ngo admitted that he could not know exactly how old the myrtle tree was, but could only guess that to have such a beautiful natural shape, the myrtle tree must be at least 500 years old.
“This myrtle tree officially has 21 dragon trunks. When I bought it, I cut off 2 dragon trunks, so now there are only 19. According to bonsai enthusiasts, this type of tree takes several decades to grow a new trunk. Therefore, people believe that the myrtle tree is over 500 years old,” Mr. Ngo shared.
Refuse to sell to Japan - Korea
Mr. Ngo also said that he has owned this myrtle tree for 5 years now. During that time, he welcomed thousands of visitors to his garden to admire this unique super bonsai tree. Among them, many visitors are bonsai enthusiasts and gardeners. There are even groups of visitors from Japan, Korea, the US, Australia, Thailand, etc. who have come to see the tree. Many people have expressed their desire to buy it, but he has not sold it yet.

The most recent inquirer was a group of Japanese and Korean tourists who came here to see the tree and valued it at $500,000 (about 10 billion VND), after commenting that the tree was not only unique in Vietnam but also unique in Asia.
Previously, in 2011, a general director offered 2.5 billion VND to buy this myrtle tree to plant on the golf course for guests to admire. However, the deal failed because the golf course project was not licensed, Mr. Ngo said.
“I don’t dare to confirm whether this tree is unique in Asia, but several foreign groups who came to see the tree all said that their country has never had a tree with such a beautiful, majestic and long-lived natural shape. They said they would like to own such trees, but I know that this massive tree cannot be transported abroad, so I have no intention of selling it to them,” said Mr. Ngo.

He also confided that as a gardener, if there is a customer who can buy it and see the price, then of course he has to sell it. However, he can sell other trees to any customer, as long as he can see the price. As for this myrtle tree, in addition to the price, he also has to choose a customer with a spacious, airy and beautiful garden before he can sell it.
“This tree is large, with a beautifully curved trunk, so it must be planted in a large, airy garden so that it can fully show off its shape. Selling it to customers who don’t have land to plant it, and then they stuff it in a corner of the garden, is a waste of a “treasure” given by heaven,” said Mr. Ngo./.
