I went to Donggongon Tamu today following your advice. The elusive dalit is yet to be found in Sept. Hope I'll have better luck in Oct.<br /><br />At Pahang, the grafting technology is so advanced that one old durian kampung tree (with sturdier trunk vs clones) can be a host to many types of clones? You could have D24, Musang, Chuk Keuk, udang merah etc fruiting in a single host tree.<br /><br />So, instead of chopping down the old durian kampung trees and waiting for 15 years for the new clone trees to fruit, you can have clones in just a few years' time! That's why the production is very high at Pahang and making good quality durian affordable to more people.<br /><br />I wonder why this technique did not spread over to Sabah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-59109936557129929512010-11-19T20:52:18.188+08:002010-11-19T20:52:18.188+08:00Hey there.

Freshly dropped durian is best eaten between 12 - 24 hours after dropping. This is to let the pulp to mature further and the sugar content to migrate to the pulp. The period, of course, also depends on the temperature in which it is kept. I have not exactly come across a serious durain eater who has shown us the perfect solution to this mistery for the perfect taste, that is why for the durian from the same tree or variety, we get different satisfaction.<br />2. Imported Thai durians are pick from tree when they are marure enough but not fully ripe. The reason why they lack in fragrant and taste. However, such variety requires drier climate compares to our local varieties. <br />3. Folk tales have it that durian 'ada mata'(got eyes) and they will not drop on a person. I have yet to confirm this and I do not hope so.<br />4. You are right in saying that such trees are susceptible to all kinds of dieases from fungus, insects and what not. Constance care must be given throughout their lifes. Any negligence will result in slow die-back until such time that it will not recover.<br />5. I was told durian tree produced good timber, same as the tropical wood of Suraya which Japanses & European sorted.<br />Thanks for allowing me to comment.
