Thanks, I just need to identify the plants. Look like I planted 3 "Raja Kunyit" and now only 1 left standing. Will go to Sg buloh to see if I can find some there.
Anybody here know which lot in Sg Buloh selling D197 durian tree. I found one the other day selling D101.

Yea..... Are you still able to replace the plant, or has the guy "disappeared"?
That plant, my friend, is a ficus tree. It is a very common, cheap plant used to create hedges and make ornamental living sculptures.
Also, and probably more importantly, if the plant has just been planted, please remove it quickly. It is a very aggressive plant that easily regenerates itself even with just a foot of root left in the soil. I have these plants planted by the Majlis Perbandaran outside my home about 8-10 feet away, and the bloody roots have invaded into the gutters, pipes, and even underneath the house. Some parts of my fence (wall) are even breaking up due to the roots pushing upwards from underneath.
Tried to remove the tree stump, but the root mass was so huge that the JCB's chipping blade broke (!) during excavation. Should have removed the trees 8 years ago, when they were just planted. The only plus side with having these ficus trees is that it is very bushy and shady (which make it ideal for sculpting), and attracts a lot of song birds.

From what I understand, you should only apply foliar fertilizer mixes for fruit formation after fruit set. The flowers are too delicate at this stage.
