When does it bear, and how much?

A registered tree variety is described from its mother tree, not from trial plots. The mother tree of Lacson Dos was about 8 years old and about 10 meters tall when it was registered. Its record notes a yield of 70 to 85. It bears every year, with fruit in August September. A grafted or marcotted tree bears years sooner than one grown from seed, and its yield climbs as the tree grows.

Where and when to plant Lacson Dos durian

Davao growers plant named clones such as Puyat and Arancillo for their thick, creamy flesh and small seeds. Plant grafted trees of a known clone, and mix clones for better fruit set. A registered tree variety is a selection from one proven mother tree, and only grafted, budded or marcotted plants carry its traits. A seedling grown from its seed can turn out quite different. So buy from a nursery accredited by the Bureau of Plant Industry, and ask which mother tree the scions came from. Before planting, get the field ready with our guide: Pagtatanim ng puno.

Before you buy planting material

  • Buy grafted or budded plants from an accredited nursery, with the variety name on the tag.
  • Ask your municipal agriculturist or nearby farmers how it did in your area last season.
  • Plant a few trees first if the variety is new to your area, before you fill the whole farm.
  • Write down the planting day, inputs and harvest, so you can compare varieties on your own ground. anee.io keeps these records for you.
