Have you guys ever wondered what it is exactly about durians that evokes such an excitement and respect and just awe? its crazy.. other fruits do not command such efforts or time or respect or distant trips to asia. But durian has a special power... THE KING OF FRUITS! all others must bow down. anyway its just interesting to me the lengths i'm literally going through right now on my land to plant this durian orchard. its almost crazy. We shall not even mention the amount of money being spent on rock walls, excavators, fill material, mulch, dirt, shade cages, irrigation, i digress... check back with me in 10 years and hopefully its all worth it. and i'm a pioneer for having an awesome durian orchard in Kona Hawaii. only time will tell. But I'm willing to take my chances.
