Thanks Richard. With the current weed unbanned Thailand, a lot more Malaysians going to Thai to enjoy the recreational activities than eating durians 🤣
I think I remember you from one of our friends blogging about northern Thailand. those durian trees is gonna take years before it can bear fruit. I guess nothings gonna happen in a short time.
Our season has changed, and with recent farming technologies, those trees has been "tricked" to work all year long. We have durians all year long now, except the quality become less consistent. There will be gap between areas. Fruit will start to grow and mature from the southern parts all the way up towards north.
3 weeks ago was the southern fruit, we call them musang king. Now it's changing season. The southern fruit is turning bland since they're season end. New fruit from the middle region started to fall, but not fully ripen. It's still full body and good fruit, however the texture of the flesh is tougher. It will take about a week or two before good fruit being produce.
This is the "in between" for us. It's still durian everywhere, but not at their best quality for the time being.
Yeah, many people are going to Thailand now. Even around the farm, there are more pot shops than 7-11's! 😄 And the main toursists areas have them everywhere.
From the size of the durian trees we have, I would say at least 3 years, maybe more, before we get any fruit. No rush. Not everything has to happen quick!
We keep adding new things. Advacado, more lime, and some that I don't know the name in English. Soon, I may need more land!
Thanks for the explaination on the Durian season(s). I'mm still learning how it all works! A little bit different to the farms in America. There is a little over 1,000 rai at the main family house in Colorado, and another 3,000 a few km away. Wheat mostly, but there is grass for about 30 head of cattle they keep as well. And that is considered a small farm! But I would rather be in Thailand!
Have a great day!
