Durian Hope


Several years ago, when I was still living in the farm and believed my dream of developing the farm into a financially viable project, I managed to get several durian seedlings from the Agriculture Department. The seedlings were supposed to be of some good (clone) quality. Now, one of those seedlings not only managed to survive and grow up but has produced some fruits - for the first time.
The tree is not too tall but looks healthy.

There are about 8-10 fruits slowly developing and if the squirrels don't get to them and eat all up, maybe this year end, I'll have a few durians to eat.
