Peach traders said that this year there are very few beautiful peach trees for Tet due to the impact of storms and rain. Therefore, only about 5% of peach trees in the gardens can be sold on the market. Therefore, the selling price has also increased by about 70% to 100% compared to last year.

Mr. Nguyen Duy Dang, a resident of Thanh Xuan district, said that the price of peach blossoms this year is too high compared to his income. At the flower market, many peach blossom branches have shapes that he feels are "good" but the sellers are asking for prices from 3-5 million VND/branch. Meanwhile, last year, he bought a very large, beautiful peach blossom branch for 1.7 million VND. Therefore, although he really likes playing with peach blossoms, this year he has to "temporarily put aside" this hobby and switch to other types of ornamental plants that are more affordable.
