THE BOUNTIFUL DURIAN BLOSSOMS SIMILAR TO JAPANESE CHERRY BLOSSOMS • DURIAN FLOWERS BEGIN AT THE BUD INITIATION PROCESS. IT THEN TAKES ABOUT 6 MONTHS TO PRODUCE FRUITS, DEVELOP AND FINALLY HARVEST THEM. THIS IS WHY DURIANS ARE USUALLY HARVESTED AND MADE AVAILABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERY YEAR AT ALL PARTS OF MALAYSIA, WHICH CALLED THE DURIAN SEASON. THE DRY SEASON EACH YEAR IS THE MAIN DETERMINANT THAT PROMOTES DURIAN BLOOMS.

D145: THE BEST OF KUANTAN AND BESERAH • THE D145 DURIAN VARIETY WHICH IS A HOUSEHOLD NAME IN KUANTAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE TALK OF THE TOWN BECAUSE OF ITS HIGH PRICE.

THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE ON DURIAN TREES: AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS • IT IS COMMONLY KNOWN THAT TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY AND LIGHT ARE IMPORTANT VARIANTS THAT AFFECT THE FLOWERING PROCESS OF PLANTS. THE SAME APPLIES TO DURIAN TREES. WHEN DURIAN TREES GROW TO A CERTAIN AGE UNDER SUITABLE EXTERNAL CONDITIONS, THE TOP MERISTEM OF THE BRANCH TRANSFORMS INTO REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS, WHICH WE KNOW AS FLOWERS.

PRODUCING DURIAN DURING NON-DURIAN SEASON: A HARDWORKING COUPLE’S SECRET • DURIAN IS AFFECTED BY THE BIGGEST EXTERNAL FACTOR—CLIMATE. FARMERS IN THE SAME AREA USUALLY EXPERIENCE SIMILAR SEASON AND THE QUALITY OF THEIR OUTPUT ARE ROUGHLY THE SAME.
