About Durian (D24 / Sultan Durian Variety)
Durian (Durio zibethinus) is one of the most famous tropical fruits, known for its one-of-a-kind fragrance and flavour. It's the only durian species commercially cultivated at scale outside its native region, and because it's open-pollinated, individual trees can vary in fruit colour, odour, size and form. This plant is the D24 variety, also known as Sultan Durian — one of the best-known durian varieties alongside Musang King. D24's flesh is golden-yellow, creamy, bittersweet, less fibrous than many varieties, and easier to eat thanks to its larger seeds.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content; ideal pH 6.5-8.
- Climate: Moist tropical to subtropical climates.
Planting & Spacing
Best grown directly in the ground, though it can start in a pot at least 25x25 inches. Best planting time is June-July in low-rainfall areas and October-November in high-rainfall areas. Fertilizer should be applied 45-90 cm from the trunk, timed before flowering.
Care
- Watering: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; keep the root zone consistently moist during flowering.
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month for the first year, then 2-3 times a year once established, before the flowering season.
- Pruning: Regular light pruning to maintain shape — durian is not generally troubled by major pests or disease.
Fruiting & Harvest
Main flowering season is January to March, sometimes also June-July depending on climate. Edible fruiting is famously slow to arrive — typically 4-5 years after planting at minimum, and often longer, which is well known even among durian growers elsewhere in the world.
This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region — we don't promise a fixed timeline. Traditionally advised not to be eaten with alcohol in some cultures, though the fruit itself poses no major safety concern otherwise.
