Hanoi’s flower village of Nhat Tan will send south some 3,000 branches of peace blossoms, the favourite home decoration of Hanoians during Lunar New Year Festival (Tet), during Tet this year.

Nguyen Thi Binh, Head of the Farmers’ Association of Nhat Tan ward - the cradle of the blossoms – said, although the number of branches is “modest” compared to the south’s demand, most of growers find it hard to transport peach blossoms over a long distance.

An owner of 250 bonsai peach trees in Nhat Tan ward, Tran Tuan Viet said he had declined a lot of orders placed by customers from southern cities and provinces also due to the difficulties regarding transport.

Viet has to date had 40 bonsai peach trees leased in advance for the festival with rentals ranging between 2.5 million VND and 12 million VND.

The sale prices would be 500,000 VND - 1 million VND higher than the hire charge of each tree, Viet added.
