Why is Durian So Expensive?

I started one year ago with 400 trees, soil can never be too wet nor too dry. The roots spread out but don’t go deep. Durian trees require daily watering and regular fertiliser.
I hope to be able to harvest first Durian in 5-6 years

Hi, nice looking tree we are in the process of deciding which trees to plant on 10 rai(150 trees?) we have, labour and water available.

Thought about some durian but read quite a few bad reports until i saw this!

Would you mind if i ask you a few things?

Difficult to grow.

 

I love that Durian ice cream that's available for only 20B at 7.

 

Haven't seen it lately, probably because out of season.

 

PS If you think Durians are expensive, google "Black Truffles Italy Chinese buyers".  Rich Chinese buyers pay huge sums of money just to show off to their friends and business associates at private dinners.
