Seedling Durian produces fantastic fruit
The Mangosteen season has come to an end. The Salaks have finished. And there are only three Durians left. These three Durians are rather special - the tree was destroyed by Cyclone Rona and all that was left was a stump - the graft had gone. I planted another grafted tree beside the tree so that we could use the rootstock to graft again. Now it has fruited as a seedling and the fruit is fantastic - a wonderful gift for us as it has fruited much later than all our other trees and it appears much creamier too. So viva la difference - it gives us more variety for our tastings, and an extended Durian season.
