TPO - Apricot trees covered with green moss are being sold a lot in Nghe An, people are not afraid to spend millions to bring them home to celebrate Tet.

TPO - Apricot trees covered with green moss are being sold a lot in Nghe An, people are not afraid to spend millions to bring them home to celebrate Tet.

In recent years, along with the hobby of digging peaches, kumquats, and grapefruits during the Lunar New Year, bich chi apricot is a popular item of Nghe An people every Tet and Spring.

Each tree costs from 1 million VND to tens of millions of VND, depending on age, shape, size, etc. Although not cheap, this tree still attracts customers to buy during Tet.

Mr. Hoang Quan (owner of a gardener selling flowers and ornamental plants on 72m street, Vinh City) said that the apricot tree, also known as the white apricot, is a flower belonging to the four precious set "Tung - Chrysanthemum - Bamboo - Apricot". famous in folk and poetry. This is a type of apricot that blooms only once, named by the ancients as Nhat chi apricot.

“It takes quite a long time for the apricot flower to bloom from the moment it blooms until it withers. Therefore, even though the flowers bloomed ten days before Tet, many people still like to have this special flower in their homes during Tet," Mr. Quan shared.

Patches of moss cling from the base to the top of the tree, both increasing aesthetics and providing moisture to the tree.

Some gardeners have transplanted many apricot trees onto driftwood.

Mr. Nguyen Canh Dung (a gardener selling the best apricot trees on Lenin Avenue, Vinh City) said that this year, he imported about 200 apricot trees from Sa Pa to sell during Tet. According to Mr. Dung, most apricot trees have many shapes such as direct, horizontal, mystical, cascading, etc. The selling price depends on the age, shape, and size of the tree. The larger the root, the higher the price. “It takes at least 2 years to take care of an apricot tree until it becomes beautiful and marketable. There are trees that take up to 4-5 years to take shape," Mr. Dung said.

When blooming, the apricot tree has a pinkish white color, exuding purity but no less strength.

Nhat chi mai is more prominent with many red New Year cards and greetings hung by the gardener.

Each pure flower petal blooms signaling a fresh, peaceful and prosperous spring. This is also the reason why many people choose to buy chi mai for Tet decoration.
