Luu Vinh Son Commune (Thach Ha District, Ha Tinh Province) is considered the place that grows the most peach blossoms in Ha Tinh Province. These days, peach blossom growers in Luu Vinh Son Commune are mobilizing manpower to strip leaves so that peach trees can bud and sprout so that the trees can bloom on time to serve customers.

Peach growers said that usually from around the middle of the 11th lunar month every year, flower growers are busy going to the garden to strip the leaves from the peach trees.

According to the people, depending on the weather, the leaf stripping process takes place earlier or later. Choosing the right time to strip the leaves is quite important so that the peach tree blooms at the right time, sells for a high price, and supplies during the Lunar New Year.

Mr. Tran Van Duc (born in 1971, residing in Kim Son village) is one of the local households with over 10 years of experience in growing peach trees. This year, his family's garden has over 300 trees out of a total of 600 trees that will be supplied for the Lunar New Year 2025.

Peach blossom growers are busy stripping leaves so the flowers bloom in time for Tet.

Mr. Tran Ba ​​Hoanh, Chairman of the People's Committee of Luu Vinh Son Commune, said that the whole commune has 600 households growing peaches on an area of ​​112 hectares, of which about 300 households grow peaches in large quantities. This year, it is expected that about 70% of the peach area will be old enough to supply the market.

“If the weather is favorable, hopefully this year will bring a large source of income for local people. For example, during Tet 2024, the whole commune earned over 10 billion VND from peach growing. Peach growing has existed for about 30 years, helping many families in the commune escape poverty and become rich,” said Chairman of the Commune People's Committee Luu Vinh Son.
