TPO - On the afternoon of the 29th of Tet At Ty, the buying and selling atmosphere in peach and kumquat selling areas was still bustling. Not accepting to sell at low prices, many traders cut down their unsold peach trees before leaving the capital to return to their hometowns for Tet.

On January 28 (29th of Tet), on many streets in Hanoi , vendors heavily discounted peach and kumquat trees in the hope of "pushing" their goods to quickly clean up and prepare for Tet.

According to PV, from around 2:00 p.m. today, many people flocked to the flower market on Lac Long Quan Street (Tay Ho District) to hunt for peach and kumquat trees at reduced prices.

With just a few hours left until New Year's Eve, retailers are starting to discount prices by 50-70% compared to the average daily selling price.

Peach pots, which normally cost from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 VND, were sold for only 650,000 VND on the afternoon of the 29th of Tet.

Many people are excited to buy cheap peach branches.

Mr. Nguyen The Ngoc (Long Bien district) said: "On the last afternoon of the year, I went for a walk and saw apricot blossoms for 200,000 VND, quite cheap, so I bought some to play with during Tet."

Although many places are bustling with buyers and sellers, some flower shops are still deserted even though prices have dropped sharply.

Kumquats are sold at the same price but there are still no customers on the afternoon of the 29th of Tet.

Mr. Dinh Van Thanh (a kumquat seller) said that even though it was the afternoon of the 29th of Tet, he still had 30 kumquat pots that he had not sold. "This year the market is difficult, even though the price has been reduced quite deeply, it is still very difficult to sell. I just hope to sell all my kumquats so I can go home and celebrate Tet with my family."

Some traders tried to sell the remaining trees in hopes of recouping their capital.

Unable to sell all the wild peach trees, the trader cut them down and returned to his hometown.

Environmental workers clean up peach trees left by vendors on the sidewalk on the afternoon of the 29th of Tet.
