I was very bummed that when I went to malayasia (Christmas and new years) it was out of season for the fruits. Although I got to try many different types of durian imported. However, I did see many mango trees with young fruits developing on them all the way from Penang to Singapore
I saw loaded mango trees and durian trees on the east coast of Costa Rica. I also saw mango trees growing right next to the beach, in pretty much beach sand. Never knew they would grow in salty sand like that. Pretty interesting.
When durian reviews from your trip like you do with Florida mangoes?
Here in Hawaii we grow durian and Indian mangoes. But on either side of the island. Durians in the east. Mangoes in the west. Different climates. But we can find them all at the right market. Also some of the other mango species are delicious. Casturi and kuini are yum!
What’s up TFF.In Malaysia outside of Perlis and northern Kedah mangoes don't seem to grow well. You can still find some small farms that grow mangoes outside of those two states and the mangoes grown are mostly chokonan mangoes from thailand.those farms can be found in Malacca and negeri sembilan and central sarawak.in Kedah and Perlis it's harummanis.also mangoes unlike durian are grown in flat terrains.over all mangoes seem to grow well in urban areas and coastal areas in Malaysia .in urban areas trees seem to flower well when being grown next to an asphalt road or concrete sidewalks.i wonder it could be the heat emitting from the ground
Hey mate here where Iam in australia just over 16 degrees south mango and durian are grown next to each other. However in my area its a little too wet for ideal conditions for mango Average 3000mm a year we do however get a decent dry season in a typical year which works for mangoes and durian flowering. If you go up in elevation from here mangoes are grown on large commercial scale it is much drier and cooler in this location.I would think penang is way to hot year round to grow mangoes decently certainly the premium location for durian growing though. Durian are also irrigated here generally even though we get 3000mm a year of rain.
Hi FutureThere should be durian in august here in the CaribeSur.On the Pacific coast:Gary Zill has produced some great mangoes in CR but I think he is frustrated that it is not better than it is.Mango season starts around February corresponding to the dry season. By May/June it is starting to rain and you get anthracnosis on the fruits.Peter

How do you rate Harumanis? I saw trees with flowers in urban areas. Heat won’t trigger mango flowering but the asphalt and concrete might be restricting water.
