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 Oboza was about 11 years old and about 10 meters tall when it was registered. It bears regularly, with fruit in June August. 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 Oboza 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.
