If you happen to’ve traded with me earlier than, you recognize I like to gather & develop, however have super-limited house to maintain most vegetation to maturity. I am positive many on the discussion board can relate.
My intention with this publish is to offer away the next seedlings to these in Zone 10+ (Florida) to get a few of these species higher established within the States. I would favor to satisfy in particular person quite than ship. Sorry to these that are not within the correct rising zone, however as my intention is to offer these away, it will be throwing my money and time down the drain to ship them to loss of life.
“Rainbow” Durian aka Pelangi Durian (Durio zibethinus) – Sourced from Papua, Indonesia; vendor has offered me the next data for this cultivar: It’s a candy and creamy Durian fashionable for its sporadic pink coloration; the odor shouldn’t be intense. The pink coloration happens from blended genetics – these have naturally hybridized over time with D. graveolens. Fruit manufacturing begins between 3-5 years and peak manufacturing begins between years 7-10.
- I at the moment have a complete of 12 Durian seedlings. They’re a couple of months previous, and the bulk survived the temps dipping into the 40s a few weeks in the past with restricted safety. True Leaves are rising on all seedlings. With their fats taproot, these Durians must be planted within the floor ASAP to keep away from root points. I’m maintaining a tally of 3 extra seedlings which will or might not survive. I’m offering these seedlings in teams of three or extra.
In case you are , I ask you meet the next situations:- Are literally fascinated about rising these to maturity. Any intention to resell these might be met with the fury of 10,000 Suns.
- Have satisfactory yard house/situations to develop these bushes to maturity. Durians like full solar, water, vitamins, and many others; advised spacing between bushes is 30-50ft. Im assuming if youre , you recognize what work it will take.
- Prepared to coach/prune the tree. This can be a needed step in a younger Durian bushes life, particularly in consideration of future high quality and amount of the fruit produced.
Moreover, I’ve 34 Sidempuan Snakefruit (Salacca sumatrana) I’m trying to give away for a similar cause. Right here is the knowledge I’ve offered by the vendor: This can be a selection not broadly identified or cultivated exterior of Padang Sidempuan, Sumatra (supply). The tree itself is smaller and shorter than its fashionable cousin, Salacca zalacca, however is reported to have a tastier fruit. The flesh of the fruit has sporadic pink coloration. This tree is an understory/shade-loving tree, good to plant in clumps underneath one thing bigger you might have fruiting proper now. The draw back to this selection, as with most snake fruit, is there are numerous spines on the tree, and atleast 1 male plant is required for pollination. Not advised for these with younger youngsters. First harvest usually happens between 3-5 years.
- I ask that you simply meet the identical fundamental standards as outlined for the Durians; in fact, nutrient and rising situations might be totally different. I’ll solely be giving these out in teams of 4 or extra.
I am not in search of something in return, however making an attempt a number of the fruit in X quantity of years could be appreciated 
I am prepared to work with folks you recognize not on this discussion board as nicely, in the event that they meet the standards.
Thanks for yall’s curiosity and if in case you have solutions or recommendation to offer on this publish, please achieve this. I’m definitely no Durian skilled.
