SCRAPING TREE BARKS: PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE • THE BARK IS ALSO AN EXTREMELY VITAL PART IN DURIAN TREES. IN ADDITION TO PROTECTING THE CORE OF THE TRUNK, THE PHLOEM IN THE BARK PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN TRANSMITTING WATER AND NUTRIENTS TO THE WHOLE TREE.

SCRAPING THE BARK. is also beneficial as you can keep the durian trees clean

DURIAN ROOTS, STEMS AND LEAVES KNOW THEM TO GROW THEM • THERE IS NO DENYING THAT IT IS DEFINITELY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF CULTIVATING DURIANS BEFORE ONE BECOMES A DURIAN FARMER. AT THE VERY LEAST, ONE SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE DURIAN TREE. THIS INCLUDES THE FUNCTIONS OF ITS ROOTS, STEMS AND LEAVES.

THE ROOTS, STEMS AND LEAVES of the durian tree grow together and are indispensable. During the process of growth, the durian tree will grow poorly if any part of it has a problem.

EVER SEEN A 4-IN-1 DURIAN TREE? • DURING THIS PERIOD WHEN THE DURIAN INDUSTRY IS BOOMING, WE GET TO WITNESS MANY PECULIAR YET INTERESTING PRACTICES CARRIED OUT BY DURIAN FARMERS.REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE APPROACH IS RIGHT OR WRONG, IT AT LEAST SHOWS THAT LOCAL FARMERS ARE INNOVATIVE AND CREATIVE WHEN IT COMES TO CULTIVATION.

PLANTS TWO DURIAN SEEDLINGS TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME about 1 foot away. When they grow to a few feet high and the branches are still soft, would gently twist and intertwine them.

Ong Kwee Poh’s approach is different. However, but it has the same effect-it can withhold strong wind with the support of FOUR DIFFERENT TRUNKS.

FULL BLOOMS GUARANTEE A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST - A COMMON MISCONCEPTION • THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR 2021 SAW DURIAN TREES IN FULL BLOOM THANKS TO THE WEATHER. MOST DURIAN FARMERS FROM EVERY NOOK AND CORNER OF MALAYSIA WERE ECSTATIC DUE TO THIS. FOR THEM, THIS SIMPLY MEANT THAT THE TIME HAS COME TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY. ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE WERE SOME SKEPTICAL FARMERS WHO WERE CONCERNED THAT AS A RESULT OF THIS, THE HIGH DURIAN YIELD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR WILL INEVITABLY CAUSE DURIAN PRICES TO DROP.

This is based on the ideal situation where every bunch of flowers would be fruitful. Nevertheless, this may be far from reality.
