Residents of Ky Nam commune in Ha Tinh province are facing unexpected challenges as their apricot trees, a key source of income, are blooming earlier than expected due to unpredictable weather patterns. The early bloom, which is unfavorable for the Tet holiday season, when apricots are usually sold, has caused anxiety and fear of revenue loss. The commune, known for its apricot cultivation, has seen over 20% of the trees in bloom, with some fully bloomed and at risk of falling soon, while others are being held back to bloom in time for the Tet holiday.
