Tried blackthorn.. a bit on the the sweet side still prefer musang

[@getawaysounds2502]

I can't wait to one day try these from the farm. They are so heavenly and the sacred geometry of the black thorn durian is so precise.

[@stefruityfruitsandfunwiths7519]

[@TABULAMPOTRUDI]

musang king adalah durian asli Malaysia dan sekarang sudah banyak orang Indonesia yang menanamnya.dan merupakan durian unggulan karena rasanya yang manis dan berwarna kuning alami.tetapi harganya cukup mahal juga 😀😀😀

[@rolfpoelman3486]

10:24 Did he sell from both the resort stall and to the resort management for their VIP? At what prices?

[@rolfpoelman3486]

1:15 to 1:22 How do they climb up to tie the durian fruits, with a very long ladder?

[@rolfpoelman3486]

12:31 The single black thorn on every Black Thorn. Do you have any photos and videos of fruits showing a black thorn on ripened Black Thorns?

[@airtengki3183]

Would you please write the address please? 🙏🙏🙏

[@bamshamsi]

who know farmers have farms for thorn balack durian in Penanang in Malasya?

[@erictayverystrongimaginati1662]

serene orchid blackthorn address please from sg.

[@rolfpoelman3486]

@@erictayverystrongimaginati1662 Search the internet for SERENE DURIAN ORCHARD.

[@tanpengjoo7205]

Best taste of Durian is to eat direct from farm .

[@rolfpoelman3486]

4:59 to 5:04 A durian tree with a dead trunk top and a steel pole and black cords, what is happening there?

[@rolfpoelman3486]

20:59 Mr Leow planted just seedlings of Black Thorn? Wouldn't that have not grown Black Thorns, because of the unpredictability of seedlings?

[@rolfpoelman3486]

20:58 Is the first Black Thorn a seed from an unknown durian variety in Thailand? Would it have any same qualities?

[@rolfpoelman3486]

No, seedling durians are unpredictable, according to Glenn Tankard's book TROPICAL FRUIT... So it is maybe a very good idea to plant seedling durians.

[@shindichin]

Wow, your black thorn is so nice. Those selling at our place look difference, the colour is yellowish, the fresh is smooth but the seed is big. Can u please let me know where to buy the black thorn plants. I want to buy a few plant like your to plant at my land. Hope you are kind enough to let me know. Thank a lot

[@rolfpoelman3486]

Buy fruit and plant the seed? And hope for the best.

[@rolfpoelman3486]

20:04 What are the plants on the hills? Tea? Coffee?

[@YearoftheDurian]

that's actually land for new durian trees, it's just covered with a ground cover to help with soil erosion.

[@rolfpoelman3486]

19:33 Numbness of the tongue when eating freshly ripened durian.

[@kchan2013]

👍

[@rolfpoelman3486]

0:49 Oh Chee or Au Chee? Is that the -Mandarin- Chinese Hokkien, or Penang Hokkien name for Black Thorn?

[@YearoftheDurian]

yes exactly, although it might also be Hokkien I'm not actually sure. Someone correct me here :)

[@rolfpoelman3486]

[@rolfpoelman3486]

10:14 How many ringgit did he say?

[@rolfpoelman3486]

Transcript helps to show it was probably 12 and 13 ringgit. And was it later, in 2019, when it went up about 9 times more to R115/kg, AU$38/kg?

[@rolfpoelman3486]

20:04 A mono-culture of Black Thorn would be much healthier with permaculture eg interplantings of tropical pioneer nitrogenous coppiced trees eg Ice Cream Bean/Inga edulis, Acacia, etc? And permaculture water collection eg keyline and/or swales? That is maybe collection of water in small ponds starting near the top of the hills, draining downhill to more ponds. That might help irrigate during any dry months, and so increase production of tree growth and fruit. Who are permaculture designers?

[@rolfpoelman3486]

Banana between durians?

[@rolfpoelman3486]

Try this: raktamachat permaculture tropics.

[@rolfpoelman3486]

Sunn Hemp cover.

[@rolfpoelman3486]

Kacang Hias ie Pinto Peanut.
