Unexpectedly, the seven-petal peach blossom has 'landed' in Thanh Hoa province.

Hundreds of ancient dwarf peach trees, some many years old, appeared at the spring flower market in Thanh Hoa during the Lunar New Year, surprising the locals. Many of these old peach trees were only available for rent, and the owners absolutely refused to sell them.

In recent days, at the spring flower market held in Lam Son Square (Hac Thanh Ward, Thanh Hoa ), people were surprised to see many "that thon" peach blossoms appearing this year in Thanh Hoa - a rare and highly sought-after variety.

Below are images captured by Thanh Nien newspaper reporters of the valuable dwarf peach trees being sold and rented at Lam Son Square:

The owner of the stall selling dwarf peach blossom trees said that this year he mobilized hundreds of dwarf peach blossom trees from his family's orchard in Son La province and other orchards to display and rent out to meet the Tet holiday needs of people in Thanh Hoa.

The stall owner said he divides the trees into two categories: those for rent and those for sale. Peach blossom trees aged 3-6 years are sold for between 2-3 million VND per tree, while those aged 7-20 years are only for rent, not for sale.

The owner only rents out the old, seven-inch-trunked peach trees for money, not for sale. Partly, the owner fears that if they sell them, the trees won't receive professional care, thus diminishing their value.
