(LĐ online) - With the desire to find a different direction in the commercial vegetable and flower growing area in Don Duong district, Mr. Nguyen Trong Thieu has experimented and initially successfully grown Japanese peony grapes. The lush green vineyard, berries, and full bunches make many people excited when they come to visit and take pictures.
This vineyard was invested in and cared for by Mr. Thieu in Nghia Lap 5 Residential Group (Thanh My town, Don Duong district) on an area of 500 m2 with peony, black summer and candy grape varieties being tested.
Initially, Mr. Thieu also encountered some obstacles when choosing and starting to experiment with grape varieties, a very rare plant that had been chosen to be grown in this land before, or if planted, it had always failed. Moreover, even his family members did not support him because the direction was too risky.

After learning about planting and care techniques, Mr. Thieu tested planting some grape varieties and now the peony grape variety has been harvested. |
Mr. Thieu said: Peony grapes originated in Japan, then developed strongly in Korea and China. About 3 years ago, Vietnamese farmers started to grow them in some provinces and cities in the Northern region, the Mekong Delta... Many hot regions can also grow this famously expensive plant.
Initially, Mr. Thieu bought a few grapevines to try planting at home. The results were surprising, as the plants grew quickly, with lush branches and leaves. However, at that time, the fruits were small and not as sweet and fragrant as they are now.

After many times of research and adjustment of cultivation techniques, the green peony grape roots have produced fruit with quality beyond expectations. |
After a period of research and adjustment of care techniques, in early 2023, Mr. Thieu decided to move 500 m2 of the greenhouse where chrysanthemums were grown to test growing peony grapes, black grapes and candy grapes.
"At first, I was worried that if I didn't master the technique, the quality of the fruit wouldn't be sweet and flavorful, but right from the first batch, the green grape bunches gave unexpected quality," Thieu shared.
