Before the start of Tet, gardeners in Phu Dien ward work hard to complete their harvest of Dien pomelo.

Gardeners receive plenty of orders ahead of Tet and are striving to finish as the holiday fast approaches.

A gardener harvests the remaining pomelo before changing to a new harvest season.

Trees aged above 20 years help to bring plenty of taste to pomelos.

This kind of Dien pomelo grows sweeter each day and is only seen during one harvest season each year in the buildup to Tet.

Mai Hoa, who has planted pomelo trees for 27 years in Phu Dien ward, says customers begin to order from December, with this year seeing pomelos cheaper than in previous years due to the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

A pomelo can be eaten up to six months after its harvest.

Dien pomelo is famous nationwide for its sweet taste.

Phu Dien ward is a favourite place for many visitors each year during Tet.
