In the largest peach and Tet flower growing area in Hai Duong city, the fields that still stand firm after the storm are meticulously cared for, creating a green color of hope.
Tan Hung Ward is the locality with the largest peach, flower and ornamental plant growing area in Hai Duong City with 152 hectares. Storm No. 3 caused damage to most of the peach and flower growing areas due to flooding. After the storm, farmers in the ward immediately started to restore and replant these areas. Many fields of chrysanthemums and dahlias are now green, bringing hope to farmers when there are only more than 2 months left until Tet At Ty 2025.5,000 pots of chrysanthemums of Mr. Nguyen Van Bac's family in Thanh Lieu area have turned green. He said that there are still more than 2 months until Tet but some traders have come to deposit to buy flowers in the field at a price 10,000-20,000 VND higher per pot than the same period last year.The workers working for Mr. Bac's family are focusing on cutting off the tops of the chrysanthemums so that they can grow more branches to make the canopy bigger and more beautiful, and also to prevent the plants from blooming at this time.Mr. Bac has high expectations for this year's Tet crop because previously, storm No. 3 damaged more than 1 hectare of his family's flower field. He hung lights in the field so that the chrysanthemums would continue to grow, even at night. At the beginning of the 11th lunar month, he stopped hanging lights to create favorable conditions for the plants to bud and bloom to sell in time for Tet.After the storm, some peach fields in Tan Hung ward are still standing firm, meticulously cared for and growing well.Mr. Vuong Van Than, Director of Tan Hung Ward Agricultural Service Cooperative, said that some families still keep large and beautiful peach trees. Many people have come to pay deposits to rent them for the upcoming Tet holiday. This year, the rental price for each large and beautiful peach tree will not be less than 10 million VND.Ms. Nguyen Thi Khuy is actively taking care of the peach blossom fields that were preserved after the storm. She said that people have come to see and deposit to buy them for Tet at an average price of 400,000-500,000 VND/tree, nearly double the price of the same period last year.Mr. Le Van Duyen in Hai Tan ward rented 1.1 hectares of land in Tan Hung ward to grow peach trees. After the storm, many of his family's bonsai and branch peach trees were damaged. Fortunately, nearly 100 mini peach trees of his family were still preserved. He is making a pot around the base to help the trees grow new roots so that when customers put them in pots to play Tet, they will not die. Mr. Duyen hopes that the price of mini peach trees this year will be higher than last year to compensate for some of the capital lost due to the storm.With the bonsai peach trees that died due to the storm, Mr. Duyen is cleaning up to prepare the land for the new planting season.Nguyen Thi Ly's bougainvillea garden, which was devastated after the storm, is now starting to sprout and bloom. She hopes that in two months these pots of bougainvillea will grow big and beautiful again and sell for a high price during Tet.In addition to bougainvillea, Ms. Ly's family also has about 600 pots of chrysanthemums. Unlike many households that only sell during Tet, Ms. Ly has now started letting the flowers bud and shipping them to customers who order daily. She only keeps a certain number of pots of chrysanthemums to sell during Tet.In Tan Hung Ward, there are still many areas of hydrangea growing that are growing well, expected to be sold after Tet At Ty 2025. Farmers here are taking care of and preventing thrips, whiteflies and root fungus that harm this flower species.GOING STRONG
