"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.
