A certain sound gives you the idea that it is mature and good for eating?? If you shake the fruit and there is sound of quite a hard seed against the wall of the fruit then it is good. If there is a mushy sound then the fruit is too old....this is all hearsay. I believe in going for the tree that I am familiar with.Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-53338189629888280932012-11-10T16:10:27.867+08:002012-11-10T16:10:27.867+08:00Yes definitely.

Cindy I am not a durian lover..some years go by for me without any durians...I often avoid passing by the durian stalls because they are so expensive and I do not like to see durian skins strewn around wrecklessly. I still see people eat their durians and just throw the skin without due consideration to others. The rotting skins are not nice to see.Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-83660784637780875872012-11-02T09:09:40.027+08:002012-11-02T09:09:40.027+08:00ring yr bro in law to say my last rites.

Are durians from Kapit famous or good? Durian likes hilly or rocky land and Sibu with its peat swamp is not really suitable. Surprise ur father got them from Kpg Nangka. But then the river bank can be clayey.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-83184353494722381672012-10-22T06:52:56.639+08:002012-10-22T06:52:56.639+08:00The problem is solved if you live in the western w...The problem is solved if you live in the western world -- most time is too expensive to buy a fresh durian. We pay by the weight. Can you imagine if the fruits are small and shells are heavy? I once paid 20 euro for just one durian. About 100 ringgit? <br /><br />Normally I/we buy durian frozen in plastic box or bag. They are a lot cheaper and one does not have to pay for the shell! Most of the durians, in Holland anyway, are imported from Indonesia or Thailand. <br /><br />I have never been one that MUST eat durian. And through out the years, since durians are so expensive, I have trained myself to 'survive' without durians! Cheaper that way :( !<br /><br />CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
