At Tết, every house is usually decorated by Yellow Apricot blossoms ("hoa mai") in the central and southern parts of Vietnam, peach blossoms ("hoa đào") in the northern part of Vietnam, or St. John's wort ("hoa ban") in the mountain areas. In the north, some people (especially the elite in the past) also decorate their house with plum blossoms (also called "hoa mơ" in Vietnamese but referring to a totally different species from mickey-mouse blossoms). In the north or central, the kumquat tree is a popular decoration for the living room during Tết. Its many fruits symbolize the fertility and fruitfulness for which the family hopes in the coming year.
