I planted my own agarwood trees on my land, with my own workers.

After 15 years, I fell I was cheated ........ by myself.
Hahaha. Just kidding.
Still got the trees though.
The few acres now turned into forest already. Agarwood lampost-sized now.
From my experience, in agarwood plantation, from the seller of sapplings to inoculant, and those asking to JV, 90% minimum, are scammers. The other 7-8% are just not enough knowledge (same knowledge, or less than me, but appear to know better than me).
Still waiting the 1-3% that hopefully really know what they are doing, without intention to cheat.

From all these years, only met 4 guys that honest and knowledgeable.
1 lost contact years ago, 3 died.
Another one, only met online, and honestly advice me remotely without making any profit from me.
And from these 5 honest guys, majority from Sarawak.

Why dont plant durian?
Hahaha
Can search online, many nursery still sell sapplings.

Seed, dont recommend. Need extra works.
If want free (crassna, subintegra), come to my kebun in Pahang/Terengganu border during fruiting season. Pick yourself.
Each fruit got 2-3 seeds. Very light. Very hard work to even pick.
That why 1kg of seed they sell for RM6-8k.
And no guarantee to germinate.
The fruit will pop and seed disperse naturally.

Terengganu Forestry Department sell  certified A. malacensis sapplings.
15 years ago, only 50sen for 7-10cm sapplings.
But in huge quantities and need to arrange transport yourself from Sg Gawi, Kenyir area.

In nursery in Jerantut, Pahang, or Kelantan, 4-5ft should cost less than RM10.
8ft should cost less than RM16.
Usually A. subintegra (Thailand) or A. Crassna (Vietnam)
