This peach tree is priced over a hundred of million VND (over $5,000), a very high price for a peach tree. 

Hien, a local woman, who joined others to visit the tree last night, told VietNamNet that the shape of the tree and the color of its peach blossoms are special. 

A VietNamNet reporter contacted the tree owner, a man named Tran Van Ca, who said that he had to pay up to VND10 million (nearly $500) for transporting the tree from the Vietnam-Laos border to his home in Muong Xen town. Ca refused to disclose the price of the tree. 

The peach tree is over 3m high, the canopy is 4m wide, and many young flowers and leaves are sprouting. 

“The peach tree looks like a Buddha's hand. The front and back are like a human hand. One offered me VND80 million (nearly $4,000) to take it to Hanoi but I have not agreed to sell. I would like to sell it for at least VND100 million,” Ca said. 

Many people visit Ca’s house to admire the tree.
