The suitable growth temperature is about 10-46°C. Some durian varieties require that the annual rainfall in the planting area is not less than 2000mm, the relative humidity of the air is relatively high, about 75%-85%, and the soil pH is 5.5-6.5. It belongs to the tropical deciduous tree of the Kapok family, with a height of 15-20m. It is generally believed that East India and Malaysia are the origins of durian.

How to tell if the Golden Pillow Durian is ripe

1. Look at the stalk: Fresh durian has a relatively intact stalk. If the joint has fallen off (only one section is left), it is overripe and the smell will be very strong. Many people are afraid to eat durian at first because of this situation. If the joint between the two sections is still intact, it means it is too raw.

2. Look at the fruit body: count its protruding petals, the more the better, the rounder the better. The best durian is the one with a hilly appearance, because there is a core inside each hill, and there must be flesh if there is a core. The more hills there are, the more flesh there is, and the sweeter it is. However, the shell should not be opened for too long, otherwise it will rot if it is overripe.

3. Fruit shape: To choose a delicious golden pillow durian, first pay attention to the shape of the fruit. The appearance must be long, and the tail is long and pointed. In this way, the skin is thin, the flesh is plump, and the seeds are relatively small. The color is preferably light yellow-green or golden yellow.

4. Softness and hardness: If you buy a durian with a joint that has not fallen off and you don't know when it will be good to eat, you can dig a small triangle on the petal, put a finger in and press it gently. If you can't press it, it's too raw, so press it again tomorrow. When the flesh recovers to its original shape after pressing, it is just right to eat. At this time, the durian is fragrant and delicious, and the taste is not too strong. Beginners will definitely like it.

5. Shake it: Carefully place the fingers of both hands on the depressions between the spikes on both sides of the durian, gently pick up the durian, and after holding it firmly, gently shake the durian with your hands. If you feel a slight collision inside, or a slight sound, it proves that the flesh is ripe and has separated from the shell. Such durian is a good and ripe durian.
