Very COOL Buddy. So exciting. I guess by now you're living off the fat of the land, enjoying the seasons profits. 🙂I've been a small organic farmer for 40 years, nearly half of my life. But living in the burbs of Australia lately and working on selling up and farming in the Philippines or Thailand. ....... Been fascinated with everything Durian for many years now and I've just made the jump and started distributing fresh Thai Monthong from my home on a busy road. It's expensive here, fresh chilled Thai Monthong, delivered via plane every week to Australia sells for 80 Aussie dollars a kilo, or roughly. USD. $54 or 1,965 Thai Baht. Even at that price it's still selling like hot cakes, The Asians here love it but the Aussies are slow to catch on, but I'm sure they will eventually. Profits are small but I've found my dream job and loving it. Planing on selling fresh Durian from other countries too. This is all helping me to understand I want to stay financially involved with Durian. Do a job you love and you never work a day in your life. Yes so I'm really loving watching your videos. You explain all the important details really well. When I make the big jump to living in SE Asia I'd love to do the same kind of thing as you. I love growing papaya actually, but would be fantastic to have a Durian set up like yours with a few other rare tropical fruits as well. Thanks for leading the way Bud. Best regards. 👍🙂

That's awesome you import the durian . I also looked into air freight it's definitely not cheap . If you're ever over this way stop by I'll give you a farm tour 👍

Hello, great videos sir. I'm new to Durian Farming. I have no idea so I've subscribed to this page. More knowledge to me 😍 At the moment, my durian fruits are dropping. They're an egg-size small.

Durian trees will naturally thin out the fruit. At this point to help keep more fruit you should be applying boron and calcium .apply by spraying on the fruit weekly .good luck 👍

This is great! Love it.

Great channel Sir. Informative and captivating. We live in Samui and are planning to leave the island (it is getting crowded) and possibly buy a farm in the Surat Thani area. Just for fun since we are both farangs we cant make it a proper business.

Good for you Terry! that's a lot of durians to harvest in the next 2 month from just over 50 trees! Good health, good money! Will it be okay if i can come over sometime in future to learn the management of the farm? i'm about to open up small durian orchard, not so big just a little over 2 acre and would love to learn from you.

Great looking fruit orchard you have there Terry, I'm jealous . I see you dont prune the Durian tree to keep them short like i have seen on other orchards in the Surat Thani areas. I tend to prune my younger trees to keep them between the 4 and 6 meter range easier for me to harvest. Can you tell me what the pink color paint is on some of your Durian trees, is it a fungicide. Thanks

Thanks , I bought this farm with the older trees at my other farm I plan on topping them at 6 m , that pink stuff is a fungicide we use as a topical treatment .

Really like to watch your videos! Me and my wife have a small piece of land in Khao Chamao with about 20 trees. This year the harvest is not so good because of the heat. Quality of durians is poor.

Thank you🙏, definitely not the best of conditions this year. Our harvest this year will be less also . I'll be doing an update vid in a few days showing our trees with fruit . In about 3 to 4 weeks we should be ready for harvest

Hi Terry, thanks for the update! What is the average rainfall per year in your area? Do you stop watering before the flowering?

@TMDurianfarmer

4 ай бұрын

We get around 55 inches yearly. We reduce the water when the trees start blooming .to about 1/3 of normal after fruit forms we slowly increase .we now water every other day for 30 min soon we will do it everyday once the fruit gets a little bigger

Once again a great video and really happy to see the fruits of your labour. Since applying the 2 rounds of 8-24-24 to induce flowering, when do you do the next round of fertilizer application and what fertilizer do you use. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Terry,just wondering if you can help? Does high wind area effect’s the amount of fruits you’ll have in a season. I’m asking because where my property is,”during the months of November and February it’s very windy,strong enough to break few Rubber trees here and there. Also,what months of the year does your durian starts flowering? I’m just trying to judge whether my lands going to work. Lee

In my growing area we start to flower as early as January and harvest by jun . You will have to check your specific area flowering time they are not all the same

Some of the durian trees have returned to the vegetative stage. Do you still continue using Paclobutrazol?

I appreciate the transparency but a few questions. You say $180k investment. Does this include absolutely everything to get to his point? Buy Land, cost of setting up property with pipes/pumps/trenching/tractor/drilling of ground well/water reservoir and anything else required for farm maintenance? Does it include cost of planting all trees and ongoing pest control and fertilisers etc? I presume the house is not included in this cost and I think if im not mistaken you commented that to acquire similar land now would also be alot more expensive, your timing worked out great. The other cost of course is the time put into the farm by yourself and your wife but I also understand from watching your videos that its as much a passion and a lifestyle as a chore so this works in your favour.

Once I induce budding I water my trees every other day for 30 min . How long you water depends on your soil type and location . Once the buds start to open I reduce to watering every other day for 10 minutes .once the fruit sets I slowly increase the water .I now water every other day for 50 minutes

Mafai is one of my favorite fruits. Mayongchit, also known as Maprang, so good! But as for the durian, with 10tons at 185 THB/kilo is that roughly 60k USD? That’s not bad for that small amount of trees.
