According to the people, to have beautiful peach blossoms for Tet, the planting process must be done with the right techniques, but the most difficult thing is to adjust the peach blossoms to bloom on time, because it depends on the weather of each year. Any year when the peach blossoms bloom early, the harvest will be poor for Tet that year, like in 2023, due to the leap year of February, the rate of peach blossoms before Tet is about 25%.

Mr. Tran Khanh Tung - Chairman of Minh Thanh Commune People's Committee said: The locality has a traditional profession of growing peach blossoms for Tet. This year, there are more than 25 hectares of peach blossoms, mainly concentrated in hamlets 7 and 8. On the days before Tet, the locality is bustling with people and vehicles from all over coming to buy peach blossoms.
Last year, Minh Thanh's peach growing business earned around 8 billion VND. This year, many traders came to place orders since the end of the 11th lunar month. Photo: Xuan Hoang
