After each Lunar New Year, gardeners in Nhat Tan village (Tay Ho, Hanoi) are busy with the work of "reviving" peach trees, preparing for a new crop.
The Lunar New Year has just passed, the peach blossom season has just ended, gardeners in Nhat Tan village (Tay Ho, Hanoi) are busy returning to their gardens, taking care of old peach trees to have products in time to serve people during the Tet season next year. At this time, the working atmosphere at the gardens in Nhat Tan peach village is no less bustling than before Tet. Peach trees brought during the year to decorate spring for every home are being collected to plant and care for. According to garden owners, peach trees displayed during Tet are quite weak and easily damaged, so replanting them early will have a higher recovery rate. Not only that, the service of taking care of peach trees after Tet at garden houses is sought by many people with the hope that the trees will grow and develop well for the Lunar New Year next year. Reviving peach trees takes a lot of time and effort. After taking the peaches home, gardeners must replace the soil to increase nutrients. The new soil is mainly clay mixed with loam so that the tree can grow well. After that, gardeners must water and monitor the tree daily to promptly handle bad situations such as tree death, root rot, etc. Pruning peach trees is a very important step, so as not to waste nutrients to nourish the tree, helping the tree to have new branches, more buds and more flowers. Mr. Tran Tien Dung (owner of Nhat Tan peach garden) said: "The process of taking care of peach trees is very hard and risky. Peach trees that are rented out to customers can also die due to lack of proper care. Just a few old trees being damaged is a huge loss for the gardener. After the trees are brought back, they are properly cared for and it takes 2-3 weeks to know which trees are weak and damaged." Peach trees are pruned, their branches and remaining buds are trimmed to help them recover after a long period of growing flowers for Tet guests. Around the 8th lunar month, the branches are bent to shape and position. Near Tet, the leaves are removed and fertilizer is applied so that the trees bloom on time. Having just visited the trees, Ms. Nguyen Bich Ha (owner of Nhat Tan peach garden) said that most of the peach trees brought to the garden at this time are rented. "During the recent Lunar New Year, my garden rented out about 200 trees. These peach trees are all old trees, so they are only rented out and few people dare to spend money to buy them for Tet." Peach trees in Nhat Tan are entering the process of revival, carrying the wishes of peach growers for a year of favorable weather and a new bumper crop.
