Located about 12 km from Hanoi sits Van Giang, which is famous for its ornamental kumquat trees. Every spring the local people enter a busy season.
Kumquats are grown on separate fields or mixed with other crops.
On the field, the yellow color of kumquat mixed with the white color of mustard flower makes a beautiful country painting.
Like many other flower villages, kumquat trees in Van Giang are taken care of over the year to serve the lunar New Year or Tet holiday.
Several months before Tet, kumquat trees are specially cared for more–to create the best fruits.
The trees with a lot of flowers are kept for the next Tet. For the trees with young fruit or lacking a nice appearance, they are trimmed to create the most beautiful shapes. A beautiful kumquat tree is a tree with medium size, big ripe fruit. The more fruits the trees have and the greener the leaves are, the better year will come for the families having these trees. Many traders buy kumquat trees from Van Giang to transport to other regions. Some people go to Van Giang to choose the best kumquat trees for their families.
