Mandarin trees (or kumquat trees) are a popular and symbolic decoration during the Lunar New Year (TαΊΏt) in Vietnam because they represent prosperity, happiness, and good fortune for the coming year.

Here’s why they are significant:

1. Symbol of Abundance: The small, round, orange fruits of the mandarin tree resemble gold coins, symbolizing wealth and abundance.

2. Family Unity: The tree, with its fruits, flowers, leaves, and buds all present at the same time, represents family harmony and continuity. Each part of the tree signifies past, present, and future generations living together harmoniously.

3. Longevity and Resilience: The evergreen leaves of the tree symbolize vitality and longevity, while the tree’s ability to produce fruit year after year reflects resilience and prosperity.

4. Decoration and Luck: During TαΊΏt, people choose mandarin trees with bright, ripe fruit and healthy leaves, believing they bring good luck and positive energy to their homes.

5. Cultural Tradition: Displaying kumquat or mandarin trees is an age-old tradition that has been passed down for generations in Vietnam, particularly in the north, where they are a staple of TαΊΏt celebrations alongside peach blossoms and apricot flowers.

Mandarin trees are often placed in homes or businesses, near altars, or at entryways, to invite blessings and a prosperous new year.
