Need help from sifu here to identify is this durian tree. icon_question.gif

I ask the landscape guy to plant some durian tree in my garden, this particular tree which I am not sure whether is durian. The old leaf look same but young leaf are green unlike my other durian which are a bit brown. This one also have too many leaf unlike my other durian tree.

It is only 3 feet now but today I found a small white flower on it. Is it even possible such small durian grow flower? I have attach the photo and you can see a small flower on it.

All durian leaf are the same? Maybe this one is different type.

I have been putting all kind of fertilizer on this feller for the past one month. It quite mad.gif to find out I am growing some wild tree.

Just bought a small D101 tree from sg buloh for $10. I will take a closer look on the leaf tomorrow to see if got any different.

It doesn't look like durian tree for me because of the leaf.

Normally durian leaf will have 2 colours, the side that facing up is green and other side facing down is brown colour.

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.

Fyseng,

Wah. That is good skill that you have pick up. It has been many years, I am still not able to master the skill to identify the clone or type of durian tree. haiz.. must go back and ask si fu again.

I am not sure about sungai buloh, if you free, you can try Mardi Serdang. I have purchased few from them last month. There are few left after I purchased. Please contact them before you go. It is RM8 per tree.

Para,

I wonder if I can get D197 bud from you next time. It will be too far for me to get back to my kampung to get the bud. If I can get it from you, it will be nearer.

sad.gif Actually I don't really know how to identify the durian tree. Its the foreign worker at the nursery told me it is D101. I only know my mao san wang is D197 when I google it tongue.gif

I bought 1 bags 20kg of manure fertilizer from Sg Buloh recently and it cost me about Rm50.

Is there any shop around Puchong that sell fertilizer? I am looking for 1-2 bags for my fruits tree. Any cheap multipurpose fertilizer will do. My coconut tree feel like not healthy and want to die.
