Christmas is less than a week away, these days the streets specializing in selling Christmas decorations and services are very bustling, especially imported pine trees and fresh pine branches are also very popular.
Mr. Pham Minh Nam, owner of a fresh imported pine tree shop on Thuy Khue Street, Tay Ho District ( Hanoi ), said that this year the number of customers ordering pine trees has increased compared to last year. Therefore, at this point, his shop is out of stock.
Explaining the reason for selling out early before Christmas, Mr. Pham Minh Nam said that because the pine trees were imported from abroad, it was difficult to preserve them, especially with Vietnam's hot and humid weather, which easily causes the trees to wilt and lose their leaves.
In addition, the cost of transporting trees is also very high and depends on plant quarantine regulations and import documents, so although demand is increasing sharply, the supply of real pine trees is not easy to meet.
Currently, fresh pine trees are mainly imported from countries such as Russia, Denmark and the Netherlands, with prices ranging from VND600,000 to VND20 million depending on size. The price of Russian pine trees has increased by about 15% compared to last year due to rising transportation and material costs, but is still the lowest price among pine trees imported to Vietnam, so it is very attractive to customers, Mr. Pham Minh Nam shared.
According to Mr. Vu Minh Viet, owner of an imported fresh flower shop on Hai Ba Trung Street (Hanoi), fresh pine trees imported from Russia to Vietnam are usually between 70 cm and 4 m in size. This type of pine tree retains its soil ball and can be used for about 3 months, and if well cared for, can be reused for a year. A 70 cm tall tree costs from 600,000 VND, while a 4 m tall tree costs about 15 million VND.
Meanwhile, pine trees imported from Denmark and the Netherlands, 100-120cm tall, cost from 2 to 2.5 million VND.
In addition to imported pine, other real tree products such as pine trees and fresh pine branches are also popular. Fresh pine branches cost from 120,000 to 150,000 VND for two branches. Undecorated pine trees cost from 150,000 to 300,000 VND for trees 50-80 cm high. If the tree is simply decorated, it will cost from 200,000 to 500,000 VND.
