Okey,my friendAwesome! Let us know if you found anything please! :-)Yes, probably because this Durio is very rare even in Borneo.The local name of durio grandiflorus is Durian Munjit.Yes indeed, that is how I found the pictures. More corectly, I found it by using a different version of the name "munyit". Still, these are the only pictures availible on the net. :-)
This species considered as a variation of Boschia grandiflora Mast.
This durian species are very rare so it is very difficult to find the information on the internet.
I've never even seen this durian species before.
I would look for information and possible picture if i go to Borneo in the middle of april.
Hope i can find it.

Has Keppel seeds a long viability?Yes,Ric,
Hi Maryoto can i have a few seeds? Thank's!Sure,send me PM.
Kepel tolerates shade here pretty well, kind of like salak. The new leaf flush is impressive with pinks and reds predominating.That's good peter,Kepel is able to adapt well.

Maryoto in rainy places there can 2 good crops and in dry places just one. The big trees in the park that I know well have a light crop in December and then again in March which is the start and end of the rainy season. These trees can have just a few fruit at times between when rain out of season causes some flowering. If it is too dry the flowers don't set fruit. Two years ago the 2 trees looked just like yours with their main rainy season crop being heavy. They have not had a crop that big since then. I should go back as they would be getting ripe now.Well,we can only hope the next kepel fruiting season will be better.
There are some near Port Douglas where rain is only 1700mm/yr and they never get watered. At Ingham trees handle 6c in winter. They do alright with rainy season excess water and in the dry season maybe the roots do need to get down to the water table. Considering they are Javanese the trees do alright in my area which is more monsoonal.In here Kepel fruiting 2 times in one year.
I must admit 2 in my yard grew fast and fruited quickly and I chopped them down.The fruit are alright.
durianlover, were I am in Boca Raton, the answer is yes. Since my house in Boca Raton sit on an ancient coquina bed, if I dont water it, its growth slow down only one flushing a year. All my seven seedlings from a foot to 10 feet grow & get multiple flushing when water three times a week. Mike T mention awhile back he seen giant mature tree in park thriving without irrigation. i think once my tree pierce the water table at ten feet i can rest easier, now if I can only convince my HOA to allow TNT use, I can fract the coral bed & all my trees root will hit the water table must faster than now. My property in the Fruity Acres, its sandy loam so the water table is only five feet on an ancient seabed, I only water it once a week during juvenile phase, even At five feet now, I have stop watering since its doing fine on its own during dry season. My big concern now is how will my kepel handle slightly wet feet during our Hurricane month?Agree with you, it needs to water the plants during the dry season in order to quickly grow.
Very nice! Award wining photos. Is this tree water sensitive, needs irrigation when mature?Well,these plants need watering when the fruit starts to flower so can produce much fruit.
What is the coldest it get where these Kepel grow Maryoto??I think this plant can grow anywhere,this plant is also able to adapt.
WOW!Thank you,my friend
I hope you really enjoy the fruits!
and get lots of seeds!!!!
Maryoto, why do you torture us! That fruit looks delicious… can I reserve some seeds? I'll send you a pm.The fruit is delicious and sweet, jack ...You should try it.
Wow! Very nice! Thank you for sharing the picturesWell, you should try to eat,Felipe.
Unfortunatelly I have not tasted kepel yet...

Do you have Rambutan, Santol, Mabolo seeds? What else? Nangkadak seeds?
Thanks
Mike
