Binh Thuan - Many apricot trees are cared for by gardeners all year round to sell during Tet, but erratic rains cause many trees to bloom early.

In the apricot growing area of ​​Ham Hiep commune, Ham Thuan Bac district, Binh Thuan province, many apricot gardens have had Tet apricot trees blooming brightly yellow in the garden.

On the branches, the apricot petals are blooming and many apricot buds are about to bloom. Meanwhile, there is still 1 month left until Tet and about 2 weeks left until we start picking apricot leaves.

Gardeners who grow apricot trees often fertilize them based on many years of experience, the weather, and the characteristics of the tree.

For about the past two months, storms and tropical depressions have continuously caused erratic rain, affecting Tet apricot trees of gardeners.

A similar situation occurred at a mai garden in Phan Thiet city when many trees bloomed early.

Mr. Bach - the owner of the apricot garden said that the apricot blossoms bloomed early due to the weather. He just hopes that when the apricot leaves are picked, there will still be many buds and the apricot blossoms will continue to bloom during Tet.

In terms of experience, Mr. Bach shared that it is necessary to water the apricot tree a lot every day to prevent it from blooming early. Because when the water is cut off, the apricot tree will bloom quickly. And based on observing the buds on the branches, the day to pick the apricot leaves will be decided on the full moon of the twelfth lunar month or a few days later.

In some houses, apricot trees are grown in pots. To avoid blooming early, some families place the apricot pots on iron frames with wheels. If it rains, the pots will be pushed into the house, and if it is sunny, they will be pushed back outside.

The early blooming of apricot trees has affected the income of apricot gardeners. People take care of the trees all year round in the hope of selling them during Tet.

Apricot gardens predict that with the early blooming of apricots and many apricot gardens not meeting quality standards, the price of apricots this Tet will likely be high.
