Fruit harvest

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

An umbrella term for non-grafted seedling durians; colour, sweetness and bitterness vary greatly from tree to tree.

Traditionally grown in villages (kampung); inexpensive bulk fruit for local markets.

Not a uniform clonal cultivar but genetically diverse seedlings; a gene pool for new breeding.
