 In early December, hundreds of ancient peach trees are on display at Nhat Tan peach garden in Tay Ho district.
 An owner of a peach garden in Nhat Tan said that it is difficult to say about the quality of peach flower this year due to the severe weather.
 A gardener plucked peach leaves.  Plucking leaves is considered one of the most important steps, decisive for a bumper peach flower crop.

 Besides the ancient peach trees for Tet holiday, a few white apricot trees have revealed their buds early.
 Not only peach trees, Vietnamese people can also display other types of plants including grapefruit, oranges, and kumquats in their houses.
