Durian

Hi Everyone!
Just wondering if the climate in Perth is suitable for growing Durian and Jackfruit. I managed to find them at Asian grocers here but would love to grow them locally.
Cheers.

Hi, Unless you stumbled across a freak seedling you would have next to no chance of growing,let alone fruiting, a durian outside of a heated greenhouse. Durian are ultra tropical. The Jakfruit would certainly grow ok. Best option would be to try one of the vaieties that tolerates cool weather, such as Yulaten.

Very pleased with how well my Durian is growing here in the wet tropics . Planted as an advanced seedling approx 1 year ago at approx 2m tall . It is now doubled in size and has several cousins nearbye for company . THats it on the right of the picture , other fruit tree visible is a Mamey sapote , and several large clumps of Costus and Heliconias .
You may get a Durian seedling to grow for a few months during summer ,but to get fruit on one out of the wet tropics would be extremely difficult.

Hi Tr,
In the picture behind the pinky costus there is a bush of paprika kind of plant that the seeds from the fruit is used for cooking as red food colour. Is that true?

No Tran , the tree in the background is a native , it is not Bixia orellana .
But after reading about it , I think I will have to try and get one .

I really enjoy Mexican food , and some of my favourite was from Yucatan . Imagine the many Filippinos here would use it and some must be growing it . Certsain I saw it in Cairns in someones front yard . I thought it was a weird RAmbutan .

Hi Tr,

Many thanks for the link. I am very much appreciated. Yes I remember now that it is a lipstick tree. I first learnt we have it in Australia via a book from Penny Woodword but I did not know that is a big tree until I saw the picture in the link.
I normally cook the seeds in oil then use that the oil to colour soup or stew similar to paprika. you can buy seeds in shop but it is best to have it in your backyard.

Cheers

Tran

Limberlost Nurseries in Cairns sell seedlings and grafted trees. Excellent prices and they ship for you.

Can Durian be refrozen, after thawing out the whole fruit?
The fruit shop only had these 5+ kilo fruits yesterday, too much for one session. I'd like to separate the pulp from the shell and refreeze for later.

I noticed that with the first thaw from remembering what I experienced in Bali. One gets very spoilt after experiencing the fresh, picking up off the ground, under the durian tree Bali examples.
