Just wondering if you could grow bananas or pineapples in the gaps on those mounds? Would it help with reducing wind evaporation/ and cooling?

Just found your site - great videos!! Im in Cairns, Aus and growing 10 trees. Keeping them low will be really important for cyclones here. My question is : how do you maintain the height you want? Is it as simple as choosing your height then continually cutting off any new growth whenever the mood takes you ? Cheers Jim

When you get ready to top your trees trim back one meter .Once topped, cut any new growth .Most farmers in Thailand do this now

Hi Terry, I am Pedro, I just started farming durian here in Davao City. Philippines, I like your concept of durian farming and I would to apply this concept on my farm. I saw that you have a canal in between row of plants. What is the advantage of this compared to the "mount type"? I know that this is all design to prevent water stagnation.

@TMDurianfarmer

Ай бұрын

Congratulations on your new farm . Welcome to the channel Pedro! We make mounds so the trees don't get waterlogged in the root system during the monsoon season . Another advantage is when we stress the trees out to start flowering by reducing the water the mounds can dry out faster getting better results . I hope this helps👍

Hi there. I’m learning so much. Tks. My property is on a mountain top that has ocean breeze most of the time. I love durians. Can I grow durian trees and be able to harvest with this wind? I’m in the Philippines.

The wind can be a problem if too strong the fruit will come off .maybe you could grow a wall of tall trees in front of the durian to block the wind ,

Good Day Terry Year 2-3 : do you set all the trees to 4 meters height and make the top pruning ? and how many inches from the top you will prune the top off? Does all Thai farmers plant musang king at 6x7 m / 7x7 m spacing ?

@TMDurianfarmer

Жыл бұрын

I'll start topping the trees that have reached their target height of 4 m.Ill do a soft prune back to the next upright branch. The next prune will be a hard prune I'll cut them back 1 m once the trees reach a height of 7m . I've seen them plant as close as 5m I think that is too close .I prefer to maintain my orchard with a tree distance of 6x7 or 7x7 This is ideal for maintenance with my sprayer I have for my tractor . Reducing labor cost is top of the list for making a profitable farm ,that one of the issues with high toped trees

Hi Terry, thanks for sending your LINE contact. We will contact you soon. In the meantime we have two questions: How can you plant two trees so close to each other? Isnt it that the trees should have a min. distance from each other of 7m, or even more? Also what is the recommended PH value of the soil to Grow Durian? We would like to check the soil on our land. Keep on your great work on YT and your farm. All the best from the Mekong, Kip & Marc

@TMDurianfarmer

I talk about it in a few of my vids. Well the reason we plant two is for a higher yield .Durian trees also seem to die easily and by having two we get a bit of insurance if one dies we have the other. In my farm I have 350 double planted trees .out of all those doubles 15 of them one died and the other lived no need to replant as we still have one in the ground .. Durian is not an easy plant to grow

why is the planting distance too closed?

In my opinion, topping off the tree may not be a good idea as we learned from years of experience, well it depends very much on variety. For example, Blackthorn durian has high possibility of branches breaking off during fruiting/ carrying fruits, usually more than 1 branch may break each year. Imagine how many productive branches left after 5 years ? We need sustainable amount of branches for the longer term.😅

@TMDurianfarmer

Жыл бұрын

I see your point but if they are breaking then they are to small for the amount on them.when topping the trees branches grow much thicker and can sustain a heavy load but still you can't allow to over load a branch this is for all fruit trees .

@doverol9378

Жыл бұрын

Sometimes there is no chance to even trim off some young fruits, furthermore the amount of rain water and fertiliser dictates the fruit size / weight. Strong wind during rainy season (fruit expansion stage) is one of the main problem too. Of course tying up / supporting the branches helped.

@TMDurianfarmer

Жыл бұрын

@@doverol9378 many factors come into play not easy to navigate the process best we can do is make sure our branches are strong enough to handle the fruit we allow to grow on them .I see it around my area where some farmers get excited and try to grow too many and they break when bad weather arrives so it's important to not overload a branch.I know it's easier said than done.

Thank you very informative and clear video. It wouldnt be bad to pay a visit to Malaysia's research centers. You might learn a trick or two. Taiwan is probably the most advanced in tropical fruits. They produce durian too. See if you could learn how they grow their trees. I know you grew 2 trees next to each other so if one dies the other would be the replacement. But what if both survive?
