In about two weeks leading up to the Tet Festival 2020, the pavements of major streets in Da Nang which are used to selling ornamental plants and flowers have become crowded with sellers and buyers.

An ornamental grapefruit tree is sold at between 2 million VND and dozens of millions of VND

Apricot blossom, kumquat and ornamental grapefruit trees are showing off their beauty with striking colour for traditional Tet, the most important and longest annual festival in Viet Nam.

According to flower growers, due to favourable weather conditions, farmers have made greater efforts to prevent their flowers from blooming early. Therefore, the prices of this year's flowers are much higher than last year'. In particular, the average price of a large pot of daisies ranges from 1 - 2 million VND.

Mr Nguyen Cuong, a kumquat tree grower, said a large kumquat tree with many fruits is sold at the prices of between 2 and 6 million VND.
