The durian, often called the King of Fruits, is a tropical tree fruit from Southeast Asia. It is known for its unique appearance, large size, and very strong aroma that divides opinions. While some find its smell overpowering and unpleasant, many consider it a delicacy. The scientific name for the commonly grown durian species is Durio zibethinus.
Size: Can grow up to 30 cm (12 in) long and 15 cm (6 in) in diameter.
Husk: Covered in sharp thorns, making it difficult to handle.
Flesh: The soft, creamy flesh is usually pale yellow to red, depending on the variety.
Odor: The smell can be likened to a mixture of rotting onions, turpentine, or raw sewage, which makes it notorious and banned in some public spaces.
Despite its divisive fragrance, durian is highly appreciated for its rich, custard-like texture and almond flavor. The flesh can be eaten raw, or used in sweet and savory dishes. It is commonly found in desserts, ice cream, pastries, and even savory dishes in Southeast Asia. Durian seeds can also be cooked and eaten.
Soil Preparation:
Durian trees prefer rich, well-drained, sandy loam soil with a pH between 6 and 7. Avoid heavy clay soils that don't drain well. 🌍
Planting the Seed:
Plant the fresh seed about 3 cm deep in moist soil. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. 🌿
Temperature:
Durian thrives in warm temperatures between 22°C (71°F) and 30°C (86°F). Ensure you are in a tropical or subtropical climate, as durian trees are not frost-tolerant. 🌞
Watering:
Water regularly, but ensure the soil has good drainage. Too much water can lead to root rot. 💧
Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Durian trees do not like standing water. 💦
Sunlight: Ensure the tree gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. ☀️
Fertilization: Use organic fertilizers to promote healthy growth and better fruit production. 🌿
Space: Durian trees grow large and need ample space, so plant them with plenty of room for their roots and branches. 🌳
Climate: Ideal for hot, humid tropical climates with plenty of rainfall. Durian trees cannot survive in cold conditions. ❄️
Temperature Tolerance: While they can handle temperatures as low as 10°C (50°F), they prefer warmth and humidity. 🌡️
Soil Salinity: Avoid planting near coastal areas with salty soil, as durian trees do not tolerate salt. 🌊
