In recent days, the purple phoenix trees on Nguyen Van Cu street (Xuan Huong ward - Da Lat) have been heavily pruned, many trees only have trunks and large branches left, attracting the attention of people and tourists.
This is a row of trees loved by many people for the unique beauty of the mountain town. In the flower season, especially when purple phoenix flowers bloom in early March 2026, the road attracts many people to visit and take photos.
Pruning green trees before the rainy and storm season is considered necessary by many people, especially for trees with large canopies.
However, the fact that many purple phoenix trees are cut almost to bare branches also makes many people regret and worry that the trees will take a long time to recover.
On August 17, Mr. Le Quang Liem - Director of Da Lat Urban Services JSC - said that purple phoenix is a plant with a fairly fast growth rate.
After pruning, the tree has the ability to sprout and form a new canopy in about a month.
According to Mr. Liem, purple phoenix has the characteristic that branches and branches grow quickly but are quite easy to break, especially when the tree has a large canopy.
In conditions of heavy rain and strong winds, tree branches can break, causing danger to pedestrians, vehicles and property.
Therefore, before the rainy and storm season, after winning the bid for the green tree and urban landscape care package in Xuan Huong ward - Da Lat, the company inspected and assessed the green tree situation to have appropriate care and pruning plans.
Before the people's concern, Da Lat Urban Services JSC said it will closely monitor the growth process of each tree after pruning, in order to help the tree recover quickly, develop a balanced, healthy canopy and ensure safety during the rainy and storm season.
If the plant grows favorably, it is expected that the purple phoenix trees can continue to bloom around March 2027.
