The 'royal' ancient dig of the Northwest brought to Hanoi costs hundreds of millions of dong

TPO - Many peach trees with rough, thorny trunks and densely blooming buds, 40-50 years old, have appeared on Lac Long Quan Street ( Hanoi ), attracting the attention of many people in the capital.

Peach trees from the Northwestern provinces are sold a lot on the sidewalks of the capital city in the days before Tet.

According to traders, the ancient peach tree originates from the mountainous district of Moc Chau (Son La province) and Sa Pa town ( Lao Cai province).

Peach trees are "difficult" and prefer the cold, so they are grown a lot in the mountainous provinces of the Northwest. Traders say that because the climate in the Northwest is usually cooler, taking care of this type of peach is less difficult.

Unlike the peach tree or the peach tree, the ancient peach tree has a dwarf shape, about 1m high, with large, long leaves, from the base to the branches are swollen, with bumps and rough joints creating the characteristic ancient look of this type of tree.

The closer to Tet, the more the flowers bloom and show off their colors.

This is a type of peach tree that is picky about its players. The customers who rent or buy trees are usually genuine peach players, knowledgeable about the Seven-inch peach variety or the rich people who are willing to pay a large sum of money to own it.

According to Mr. Hieu (a trader selling seven-inch peach trees), seven-inch peach trees sold along Lac Long Quan Street usually cost an average of 15-70 million VND. However, for trees that are 40-50 years old, the price can range from 100-250 million VND depending on the shape.

Mr. Hieu also said that the Northwest peach tree is different from the one grown in Nhat Tan in the care process. If Nhat Tan peach tree is kept in an air-conditioned room to maintain the appropriate temperature, the Northwest peach tree is cared for in a completely natural environment with the favors of "mother nature".

The price of peach trees originating from the Northwest is usually a little higher than the price of peach trees "lying in the air conditioner". And usually, most people will come to rent more than buy the whole tree.

At a garden in Nhat Tan, to ensure the flowers bloom in time for Tet, peach growers still keep the flowers in air conditioning and monitor the temperature carefully.

According to peach growers, the seven-inch peach - or royal peach - is a type of peach that in ancient times only the rich and kings could enjoy because it was very precious, rare and unique.
