(Baonghean.vn) - Thanks to choosing delicious apple varieties and mastering how to take care of them, Mr. Ngo Sy Chien's apple garden in Tam Hop commune (Quy Hop) is full of fruit. On the occasion of Tet, the 100-tree apple garden brought in an income of nearly 200 million VND.
Mr. Ngo Sy Chien's family in Tan My hamlet, Tam Hop commune has been growing apples for nearly 15 years now. "If at that time, every family competed to grow oranges, my family chose to grow apples. Apples can be harvested after 1 year of planting. The investment for apple trees is not as much as for oranges, but the care is very meticulous."

"This time, coinciding with the Lunar New Year, is very easy to sell. As soon as the apples are ripe, they are picked and there are traders to buy them," Mr. Chien said.
