Fruit harvest

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

Very thick, pale yellow, firm and drier flesh with mild, even sweetness and little bitterness.

The world's most-exported durian; ships well and is ideal for frozen trade.

Large, elongated fruit with a thick stalk. Its mild odour makes it a popular gateway durian.
