The four rice trees which grew from “3000-year-old” rice seeds collected from a archaeological site in Hanoi have blossomed.

Four rice trees sowed at the Institute for Agricultural Genetics on May 5 have blossomed.

The trees look similarly as modern rice trees. However, the tree trunks are stronger and the leaves are bigger.

Six trees which were sowed one week after these trees are not in the ear yet.

These trees are carefully taken care by experts while their husks were sent to Japan for age testing.
