The rows of yellow trumpet flowers in the center of Can Tho City are "crying for help".

(CTO) - The trumpet flower-lined streets along Le Anh Xuan and Huynh Thuc Khang are "crying out for help" due to the invasion of parasitic plants and need to be "rescued" soon.

Last March, Can Tho Newspaper and Radio & Television broadcast a photo report showcasing the beauty of the trumpet flower street along Le Anh Xuan and Huynh Thuc Khang roads, bordering the embankment from Nhi Kieu Bridge to Rach Ngong Bridge. This vibrant trumpet flower street has become a familiar meeting place for locals and tourists.

Adapting well to hot, dry climates, requiring little maintenance, and providing shade and high landscape value, many believe that planting trumpet trees along the canals has contributed to creating a distinctive highlight for the city.

The rows of yellow trumpet trees were very beautiful last March.

However, reporters from Can Tho Newspaper and Radio and Television received information from readers about the risk of the yellow trumpet trees, interspersed with crape myrtle trees, dying due to the invasion of parasitic plants.

The roots of the trumpet vine and crape myrtle are invaded and covered with parasitic plants.

According to the reporter's observations, many trumpet trees and crape myrtle trees are completely covered with parasitic plants, which invade the trees' nutrient supply and photosynthetic space. Many trees have weakened and are showing signs of gradually dying over time.

We earnestly hope that the authorities will take measures to "rescue" and remove the parasitic plants clinging to the trees, restoring the growing space for these beautiful trumpet trees and crape myrtle trees, which require a great deal of time, effort, and care to grow to their current height.
