PSNews - Due to the hot weather, the Nhat Tan peach garden (Hanoi) is blooming, too early for the coming lunar New Year or Tet. It has caused anxiety to local peach growers as the Tet holiday is still nearly a month to go.  

Although it is in the middle of winter, but the weather has been so hot, making peach starts blooming 2 weeks ago. Several flower markets near the Nhat Tan peach garden, such as Quang An, have been selling peach flowers at the prices of 50,000 to 200,000 VND per branch.

Hot weather could be the reason that made peach flowers bloom early

"Local growers still have received orders, but not as many as previous years", a flower garden owner said.

The unfavorable weather is the reason to make peach blossom early, and even 20-30% of peach trees would die this year due to climate change.

Peach growers hope the situation of selling peach flowers would be better as the Tet comes so they could not suffer losses and could happily celebrate the Tet Holiday.
