Ms. Nguyen Thu Nga in Fansipan ward (Sa Pa, Lao Cai) said that in her house there are 3 red maple trees planted 5 years ago. Currently, the trees are growing and developing well because they are suitable for the climate in Sa Pa. Previously, to bring these red maple trees to Sa Pa, she invited a Japanese agricultural expert to research the soil in Sa Pa. After that, she decided to plant these red maple trees.

Red maple tree is a woody tree with a wide canopy and bright red leaves. Every year, the tree produces red young leaves that last about 2 months and then turn yellow, orange and finally green.

According to Ms. Nga, out of 3 red maple trees, 1 tree is already 115 years old. After being brought to Sa Pa, this perennial maple tree is personally cared for by experts to ensure it grows and develops well.
