Previously, when referring to shrubs such as heather, rhododendron, blueberry, etc., Ha would think of a remote temperate land with vast green hills that only appeared on television. However, recently, in the market, there has been a sudden trend of playing imported heather branches, she is also curious to buy and play. According to Ms. Ha, a heather is a dozen times more expensive than playing with domestic flowers such as lotus, lily, pink, chrysanthemum, … In return, they are quite new ornamental plants, kept indoors. look always fresh green and cool, suitable for these hot summer days. The green heather branches are causing a fever in the market this summer (photo: Tran Ly) Selling heather branches for two years now, Ms. Nguyen Thi Van – a flower dealer in Au Co (Tay Ho, Hanoi) – said that this type of decorative foliage has appeared on the market since last year. However, up to this point, they have become popular and are sought after by many people. Heather branches are imported from Japan, belonging to the shrub family. This is one of the most popular indoor plants, especially since they have no scent so anyone can play. Around August is the time when heather flowers in dense clusters of pink, red, and purple colors. However, every week, the goods only come back once on Sunday, not often, about 200-300 branches. Depending on the canopy and shape of each branch, the price will vary, ranging from 300,000 to 600,000 VND/branch, from 1.3 to 1.6 meters high. There are even beautiful branches that are 2-2.2 meters high and cost up to 1.4 million VND. Because the price of this branch is quite expensive, she has to wait for customers to order Van to collect and then import it, but there is no surplus. Many customers called to urge her to refuse because the goods were not sold enough, Ms. Van said. There are heather branches worth millions of dollars still ordered by many people (photo: N.Thuy) Just selling heather branches for more than a month now, Ms. Phung Thuy Linh – owner of a flower shop in Tran Dang Ninh (Cau Giay, Hanoi) – also admitted that, in recent days, imported heather branches are as expensive as shrimp. fresh. Her shop is always out of stock, customers who want to buy have to wait for the goods to arrive next week. According to Ms. Linh, heather is often found in temperate countries such as Japan, Russia, Belgium, etc. When they return to Vietnam, they are very popular. However, the number of goods on each trip is not much, just over 100 branches, enough to pay for individual customers, not for wholesale delivery. Because the goods are not available and do not come back often, on this occasion, heather branches are even more “hot” and are sought after by many women. “The price of heather branches ranges from 250,000-300,000 VND / branch, expensive, about 1 million VND depending on the shape, height and canopy of each branch. Like peach and pear branches in Vietnam, heather branches are quite small and fragile, so the transport must be careful and gentle or it will break easily,” she said. Notably, at the end of the flowering season, the tree can still be used for decoration for a long time, until about October onwards, it is no longer available. Therefore, many people are very excited to buy and play on this occasion because the green leaves look very cool, bringing ethereal and luxurious beauty to the room, Linh said.

Notably, this green fruit is also extremely expensive, up to 480,000-650,000 VND/kg. Ms. Nguyen Hong Hanh – a focal point selling fruit in Ho Chi Minh City, said that ripe mangosteen is familiar to many people. But few people know that the green mangosteen is still a rare specialty dish, because the collection and preliminary processing takes a lot of effort. Moreover, because there is only one season each year, the price of this fruit is not cheap. Therefore, every year in the season, Hanh also takes mangosteen in Binh Duong, Tay Ninh, … to sell. Both green and ripe mangosteen are available. Green mangosteen – a southern product that is more expensive than ripe mangosteen (photo: NT) With unpeeled green mangosteen, she is selling from 80,000-95,000 VND/kg. Particularly, peeled mangosteen is extremely expensive, up to 550,000 VND/kg. Because, it takes about 4-5kg of fruit to get 1kg of intestine, not to mention the peeling time also takes up to 1.5-2 hours. Green mangosteen pulp is often used to make salads. Because the fruit is still green, the skin is quite hard and has a lot of latex, if the buyer does not know how to prepare it, the mangosteen will be black, eating acrid. Therefore, she often peels it for customers to buy and process it and preserve it for longer. To make a delicious salad, according to Ms. Hanh, do not choose young or overripe fruit, but must choose those with green skin but old enough, the skin has a tan that is ripe enough, the mangosteen flesh inside will be crispy. Sweet, moderately sour, firm, with a strange acrid taste. In particular, when picking the fruit, it must be peeled and preserved immediately, if left 1-2 days late, the mangosteen will not be able to make salad. “This year, the mangosteen crop failed, so every day I only picked 30-40kg of green mangosteen. Customers who want to buy ready-made peeled fruits must order 1-2 days in advance, I mobilized family members to peel them in time. As a matter of fact, there was a time when I sold a few quintals of this type of mangosteen,” said Hanh. Green mangosteen flesh costs over half a million dong/kg (photo: NT) Ms. Tran Thi Hien – the focal point of selling mangosteen in Binh Duong – shared that mangosteen is grown in many localities, but the most famous delicious is Binh Duong mangosteen. This is also the place where the chicken mangosteen salad is strange, anyone who eats it once will always remember it forever. Because there is only one season each year, lasting from May to the end of June, many people take advantage of this time to order to enjoy the best green mangosteen. Ms. Hien said that the preliminary processing of green mangosteen is very elaborate because the skin is hard, easy to drain, and harder to peel than ripe mangosteen. So, just peel and wash under the tap to remove the pus. The processor must be skillful, otherwise the mangosteen will be crushed, not keeping the whiteness. While ripe mangosteen prices range from 70,000-80,000 VND/kg, pre-cut green mangosteen costs up to 480,000-650,000 VND/kg depending on the time. Even at the beginning of the fruit season, there was not much fruit, the price of mangosteen guts peaked to about 800,000 VND/kg, but there were still no goods for sale. Green mangosteen is used to make salad, but it is not always available to buy and eat (photo: NT) “Every day, I collect 15-20kg of mangosteen intestines, no matter where I peel, customers will order there, so the goods always keep their freshness and crispiness. It is estimated that I can sell about 1 quintal of mangosteen/day,” said Hien. Because it is quite expensive, people often buy 0.5-1kg of fruit pulp or buy 2-4kg of unpeeled fruit. Many guests from the North want to enjoy this specialty, she has to peel it and then send the plane out. Because if you leave the skin of the fruit, it will ripen quickly, lose the crispness and deliciousness characteristic of green mangosteen. Having enjoyed the mangosteen chicken salad for the first time during his trip to Binh Duong 2 years ago, Mr. Le Quang Chien from Duy Tan (Cau Giay, Hanoi) admitted: “The sour, sweet, and acrid taste of mangosteen has ended. Combined with salad dressing and sweet chicken meat, it is quite strange to eat, creating an unforgettable flavor. Since then, every time when mangosteen season comes, I ask my friends in it to send it out as a drink for guests.” However, in order to choose delicious green mangosteen fruits, he must order 2-3 days in advance to have them with extremely expensive prices, up to 600,000 VND/kg of mangosteen flesh. Therefore, each season he only dares to order 2-4kg of green mangosteen to spend with guests, called to enjoy a bit of Southern specialties, Mr. Chien shared.

This crop bears fruit all year round, but is most abundant in the summer. So, at supermarkets, shops, markets or on the street, people often see jackfruit displayed rampant, the price depends on each type and each time. As at present, Thai jackfruit is sold by gardeners with prices from 9,000-18,000 VND / kg depending on the type, rural jackfruit in the market is sold for 25,000-30,000 VND / kg. According to gardeners and sellers, this is a fairly cheap price. However, in the West, a garden house grows super strange jackfruit, red flesh and sells for a sky-high price, but still out of stock. The old farmer Hai Trang owns a 2-hectare red jackfruit orchard in Hau Giang (photo: M. Khuong) Mr. Manh Khuong – a focal point associated with a gardening house of red-flesh jackfruit – said that he is wholesaling this jackfruit for 90,000 VND / kg, but still does not have enough goods to supply the focal point. Jackfruit is always in a state of fire. This type of jackfruit is still quite strange on the market, not yet popularly grown. In the West, the first garden house and also the most famous red jackfruit orchard was owned by old farmer Hai Trang (Nguyen Minh Trang), in Vi Dong commune (Vi Thuy, Hau Giang). This type of jackfruit was discovered by him accidentally during a fair in Can Tho in 2003. At that time, he was introduced by the seller as a super early, fast fruit tree variety. In particular, ripe jackfruit has red color like baked brick color, thick rice, crispy sweet taste, mild aroma. That time, Mr. Hai Trang immediately bought 50 jackfruit stumps to plant around the house. The red-fleshed jackfruit tree grows quickly without pests, and soon starts to bear fruit. But there is only one tree with more than a dozen fruits, each fruit weighing 15-17kg, when ripe, both plump and jackfruit are dark red, just as he introduced the seedling. The remaining 49 trees also produce normal fruit, but when ripe, jackfruit is yellow, like other common jackfruit varieties. Therefore, he kept only red-fleshed jackfruit trees for multiplication, the rest were cut down. This type of jackfruit each fruit usually weighs over 10kg and is sold at a sky-high price (photo: M. Khuong) From the red jackfruit tree bought during the fair in Can Tho, so far he has propagated and planted a jackfruit garden up to 3ha wide. Two other gardeners who bought this red jackfruit from him planted are now also starting to harvest. “This jackfruit tree is still in the yard now. The original diameter is about 40cm. Many people come to ask to buy trees, even some people pay half a billion to own them, but we do not sell, keep for propagation”, Mr. Hai Trang shared. In 2020, the Covid-19 epidemic affects fruit consumption. At that time, he contacted the gardener to purchase all the jackfruit products of Mr. Hai Trang and the other two gardeners. From then to now, wherever he harvested jackfruit, he bought them all, he shared more. At the beginning of the association, the red-fleshed jackfruit was exported to wholesale mainly by the clean food chain stores in Ho Chi Minh City, and then expanded to Da Nang, Hanoi. 3 months ago, customers in Russia, Canada, even Dubai also contacted to order this specialty fruit. According to him, the red jackfruit fruit is quite big, the average weight is over 10 kg / fruit. Jackfruit is usually picked by gardeners when they are old. Therefore, after 3-4 days of picking, the jackfruit will be ripe and wait for 2 more days to add it, because it is the time when it is the most delicious, sweet, and true. “This jackfruit is not much. In particular, the amount of jackfruit collected each week depends on the gardeners. There are a week of collecting tons of tons, but some weeks it is only about 300kg. So, jackfruit is always in a state of fire, ”he said. The most outstanding feature of this jackfruit is the au red zone, thick and fragrant pulp (photo: M. Khuong) On the market, pre-peeled jackfruit costs up to 250,000 VND / kg, still sold out (photo: M. Khuong) Not only selling to domestic fruit shops, red jackfruit is also ordered by many foreign customers at high prices (photo: M. Khuong) During the weeks he bought a lot, he would divide it equally to deliver to domestic and foreign customers. With few weeks left, he gives priority to foreign customers. Because, they usually place fixed orders, the shipping schedule at the airlines is also predetermined, so they prioritize the goods, avoiding shipping costs. Depending on the request of foreign customers, he will sell whole or peeled jackfruit, frozen to deliver to them. However, Mr. Khuong shared that the number of foreign customers who could buy red flesh jackfruit was not much. He must refuse to reduce because the amount of jackfruit purchased from the gardeners is not enough to meet their needs. If there are goods, the amount of jackfruit must be up to tens of tons to be enough for wholesalers both domestically and for export. In the Hanoi market, whole red jackfruit is sold for up to 250,000 VND / kg. Although the price is 4 times more expensive than the price of the whole Thai jackfruit, but the red flesh jackfruit is still out of stock. Ms. Doan Hai Yen, owner of a clean fruit shop in Thanh Xuan (Hanoi), said that every week she can only enter one trip of red intestines from a garden in the West. Quantity also depends on each batch. At a time, the goods were in weight, but rarely, only a few dozen pounds per week. Most of the jack-ups are just enough to pay for customers who pre-order, and rarely have a lot of new jackpots available at the store.
