Where and when to plant Lacson Uno 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.
