Bonsai grapefruit and mini kumquat trees on the street attract customers to buy early for Tet

TPO – There is still more than a month to go until the Lunar New Year 2025, but the Tet atmosphere has begun to appear on the streets of Vinh city, Nghe An . Potted pomelos full of fruit, mini kumquats, etc. are displayed by garden owners, serving the people's need for early Tet shopping.

For over a week now, Mr. Nguyen Canh Dung (owner of a flower and ornamental plant shop on Le Nin Street) has been transporting ornamental grapefruit pots from Hung Yen province to Vinh city (Nghe An) to sell for Tet. The ornamental grapefruit trees are over 2m tall, full of fruit, and are placed in brick and stone pots with very aesthetic designs.

“The price of a bonsai grapefruit tree depends on the size of the trunk, the number of fruits and the age, ranging from several tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dong. This type of bonsai tree is quite picky and is only for agencies, businesses, or houses with large spaces,” Mr. Dung shared.

The grapefruit tree is full of golden fruit.

Ms. Nguyen Thu Ha "closed" to buy a pomelo tree for 35 million VND. "I bought it to display at my office. Buying early makes it easier to choose a beautiful, satisfactory pot, and the price will also be "softer" than near Tet," Ms. Ha said.

Grapefruit is quite easy to care for, when ripe the fruit has a fragrant smell, can be enjoyed until April of the following year.

In addition to ornamental grapefruit, mini kumquat pots are also sold at many flower and ornamental plant shops in Vinh city.

According to a survey, the price for each small kumquat pot ranges from 300,000 - 600,000 VND (depending on size and design).

Ms. Nga, the owner of a flower garden in Nghi An commune, Vinh city, said: “This year, due to the impact of storm No. 3, the quantity of kumquat has decreased, causing prices to increase, even doubling compared to last year. I imported about 70 pots of kumquat since the 15th day of the 11th lunar month, and have sold half of them so far.”

Kumquat trees can be enjoyed for several months, so even though Tet is still more than a month away, many people still "spend money" to buy them to enjoy Tet early.
