Its not gone yet but are light bearing compared to others in the experience of people growing it around FNQ.Not sure why but the vigour of the tree is not matched by productivity
Mike, Please swap or barter me a seed before you swing the axe on the Ang heh tree!
But I have to write that the fruit from the described tree does not look like a "Red Prawn/Ang heh" judging the color of the aril from an image at
http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=41237.msg405692#msg405692I also showed a friend the image and the friend said it didn't look like it and the the friend have been to Penang island many times. Only judging one image here so it's speculation and not trying to to hate or so, I thought maybe the tree isn't doing well because it's an inferior offspring.
fliptop posted about frozen durian above. I spend considerable amounts of money on imported and local frozen durian and have found with the imported ones that brand and batch is very important, so if I am not doing a bulk order sometimes I'll buy the shitty ones they have so that they get new stock and the ones follow is usually fresh and great. So if people get a bad tasting frozen durian then it's possible it's a old batch. Good frozen durian is delicious and is not to far off from the fresh taste. I don't get the whole durian with husk since it's not space efficient in the freezer and the "cryovac" from Thailand is great, better then all the Malaysian frozen I'v had for double the price.
Gogu,
My favorite is Balinese seedling durian tree's that produce tiny fruit that pretty much only have one big aril with one big seed, usually very white flesh and concentrated flavour, nothing beats them for me because I love the strong ones. Also a batch from a wild tree (Baan) in krabi had insanely strong flavour, never had that strong elsewhere.
Have anyone tried "Bawor" druian? Have seen some videos on youtube and it looks like it has lot's of aborted seeds and great yeild.
Does anyone know if d. kinabaluensis fruit is hard to find around the area of Kinabalu ?like for sale or tree's on the road side etc.
