After peach and pear branches, it's time for palm branches. Now it's the turn of star apple branches that many women are competing to hunt for on the "online market".

Every time the blooming season comes, women hunt for star apples - a fruit with a distinctive, captivating aroma. Star apples are often sold by the kilo or in sets, contained in pretty bamboo baskets, sometimes accompanied by a few strange flowers.

At the beginning of the season, mini star apple sets are very popular with women. This year, towards the end of the season, when the market is saturated, single star apples gradually lose their appeal, star apple branches suddenly become a "fever", becoming a new and poetic hobby. The characteristic of star apple branches is that they have a very unique beauty along with a strong fragrance, creating a different highlight for the house. Not to mention, star apple branches can be played for a very long time, the fruit sticks very firmly to the branch, and even when withered, they still do not fall off.

Ms. Thu Hien (Cau Giay, Hanoi) said: "The whole branch must have up to 20 fruits. When they are ripe, they will give off a strong fragrance that fills the living room and the kitchen. The whole house will be filled with the wonderful scent of the fruit..

"After 5 days, my star apple branch is ripe, fragrant throughout 7 rooms of the house and 3 kitchens", nickname Hien Ha also enjoyed sharing on social networks. Her share received more than 1,700 interactions with hundreds of comments expressing interest and asking for the purchase address.

Ms. Hoa, the owner of a fresh flower shop, said that there are not many star apple branches. It takes her a few days to import a batch of a few dozen branches, which can only be divided into 20-30 sets.Every time it is imported, it is sold out immediately. Even before the goods are available, many people have already placed deposits.", said Ms. Hoa.

Accordingly, a set of 2-3 fresh star apple branches about 1 meter long, with green and ripe fruits mixed with many leaves, costs 170,000 VND. Including shipping costs, the buyer will have to pay about 200,000 VND.

Ms. Hoa advises customers that after receiving the goods, they must remove all the leaves before placing them in a vase. The green fruit on the branch will ripen after about 4 or 5 days of placing the branch in a vase of water, and the fragrant aroma will begin to spread.
