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.

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

[rolfpoelman]

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

[rolfpoelman]

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

[rolfpoelman]

12:04 Six thousand durian trees: Musang King 20 trees; 3 Red Prawn trees; 5977 Black Thorn trees.

[cwwong]

Best taste of Durian is to eat direct from farm .

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

[rolfpoelman]

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?
