According to Lao Dong Newspaper reporters, in recent days, many small traders have been busy mobilizing people and vehicles, including cranes, to transport peach and kumquat trees, ornamental grapefruit, and other Tet flowers to points of sale in Thanh Hoa city.
Familiar places such as Nguyen Duy Hieu Street (Dong Huong Ward), Lam Son Square (Dien Bien Ward), Trinh Kiem Street and 39m Street (Dong Ve Ward and Tan Son Ward) were soon bustling with flowers.
Garden owner Phuong Nga (in Thanh Hoa City) said that this year due to the impact of storms and rain, the price of Tet flowers is somewhat higher than previous years. To ensure supply, the garden owner imported a batch of ornamental grapefruit early and displayed it at Lam Son Square.
“Every year, at the beginning of the 12th lunar month, we urgently mobilize people and cranes to bring Tet flowers to the city center for sale. For nearly a month, we stay at flower selling points, hoping that the price of ornamental grapefruit will increase, so that families can have a more fulfilling Tet,” the garden owner shared.
In the bustling atmosphere, Mr. Dinh Van Thu (53 years old, residing in Thanh Hoa City), a trader with more than 10 years of experience in selling peach and kumquat trees, chose a location on Nguyen Duy Hieu Street (Dong Huong Ward, in front of Hoang Long Museum) to sell peach trees this year.
“This year, I imported many beautiful, ancient peach trees. However, the price of peach trees this year is higher than every year, the reason is that storms have damaged many peach growing areas in the northern provinces. Among the dozens of peach trees I brought back, I am especially pleased with the pair of peach trees with a coiled snake shape, which symbolizes protection, bringing luck and fortune to the owner,” Mr. Thu shared.
