Starfruit trees, apricot blossom trees worth billions of dong, and other ornamental plants priced in the tens of millions of dong attract customers during Tet.
This year, Mr. Nguyen's garden also displayed dozens of apricot blossom trees for sale during Tet. Among them is this "giant" apricot blossom tree, nearly 10 meters tall and almost 100 years old, which sold for over 1.5 billion VND. According to Mr. Nguyen, this apricot blossom tree grew completely naturally, without any human intervention or pruning.
In addition, another apricot blossom tree is being offered for sale at 500 million VND.
These days, the weather in Dak Lak is gloomy, with unpredictable rain and sunshine, causing many garden owners to worry that their apricot blossoms won't bloom on schedule.
In the bonsai garden of Mr. Nguyen Phong Duy (Buon Ma Thuot city, Dak Lak province), there are dozens of bonsai trees with many unique and unusual shapes.
The star apple tree, shaped like a boat, was purchased by him from a household in Buon Ma Thuot city. After buying it, he began shaping and pruning the tree. To achieve its current boat-like shape, he spent five years meticulously caring for it. This tree is valued at over 1 billion VND.
In particular, the garden features a 9-meter-long starfruit tree, considered unique in Dak Lak. Duy explained that the tree has a distinctive, cascading shape, resembling a dragon painted on its skin. His group purchased this tree from a local resident in Phu Yen about four years ago.
According to Duy, the starfruit tree was previously struck by lightning, uprooted, and fell, appearing to be in its current precarious state. When the tree was brought back, its survival rate was only 30-40%. After four years of care, the tree has been revived.
Duy said that they had painstakingly cared for and shaped the branches, and although they had been nurturing them for four years, they really needed another one or two years to perfect them as desired, to become a true work of art.
Additionally, the garden features guava bonsai trees, uniquely shaped by the owner.
