In the lowland or places with limited land, pots of yellow apricots are kept on scaffolds. This is not only to prevent them from being flooded, but also to help them absorb enough sunlight.
In Le Duan park, there are hundreds of yellow apricot trees under the management of Hue Greenery Parks Center. When it becomes sunny and dry, workers are quickly mobilized to remove the leaves of the apricot trees for several days on end.
