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.
