No because you're refinancing your existing property.

Bro, my house's appreciation didn't quadruple like yours. Only slight appreciation!

Just connect one small water pipe from main water pipe, and shoot it on the dynamo, and the water flows away onto the ground. Depends on the dynamo size, ours cost few hundreds. The power output enough to power up few lamps, TVs, and CD/DVD player.


I see, Tras. Nowadays many people in Tras are selling out their land. I saw an board writing "Bank Lelong 274 acres" with number on it but forgot the number. Damn huge piece of land. Ask the villagers around they said the land is in Tras.

Water source from rocky river, from hill top.

Btw, your soon-to-be land is flat land or hill slide?

It's half flat and half hilly. But ex-owner already terraced the hilly part. Right on top of the hill is a small piece of flat land with a very nice view of the hills opposite.

How big is the land again? Btw, Raja. Your planning to stay there or get some indon to help?

5 acres....no plans yet. Once title transfer is done, I will start to think abt it.

For durian orchard owner, If you want to increase your fruit production and getting fruiting more than 2/3 times a year, I have a way to help. Would like to share some photo here which showing excellent performance. HOpe you guys enjoy it.

If you have 10acres land with good species, to make turnover of 1-2Million per annum is not a problem.

As many people have said in the previous thread, durian price is really cheap. It will not generate alot of income for you. If you don't mind about the income, and you just want to have a country home and bring your familys and friends to gather and eat there, I don't see there is any problem with it. However, some people suggest banana, gaharu or other types of plantation. You just got to tap into the plantation commercial value (whichever plantation that you are interested in). I'm suggesting banana as banana prices are rising in recent years, and my friend plant a whole dam lot of bananas.



If you plant oil-palm in that 4-7 acres land, it will not generate enough profit thus covering the expenses.

I'm planning to convert my 20 acre durian tree to something else. Hmm thinking of planning banana together with palm oil tree. Heard from someone that banana can be plan together side by side with palm oil tree so that banana can help to protect the palm oil tree too, but once the palm oil tree growing bigger then i must get rid the banana tree, that mean I can only harvest the banana for 2 year max after that have to get rid of it and wait for the palm oil to grow. I want to ask just grow banana all the time is better or mix with palm oil like I had mention is much more profit?

Yeah, I once planted banana and pineapple in between my palm oil trees and under those big TNB powerline that goes through my land (can't plant oil palm under those cables). But the problems lies ahead......THIEVES.

Nothing but the truth. There will always have "hantu". When there is profit, "hantu" will come.

Sometimes the manager/workers inside the big palm oil estate cooperate with outsiders to steal out the fruits/fertilizer during night time. Even big estate have "hantu" don't mention about small plantation/fruit orchard etc.

Can anyone tell me is that plant banana is more profit yield than oilpalm/rubber?

Banana can produce fruits in around 10 months. The yield is high also. Compare to the initial capital in buying banana seedling and things to grow it, with the selling market price.

How about papaya then ?

market price rm2/kg

easier to mantain.
faster growth

Yes. Papaya also yield high income. The one thing about papaya is that, they will grow too tall to harvest. One of the way to plant it is to tie it down to the soil to let it crawl and grow papayas. Of course not until the papaya touch the soil, or else other animals will eat it. This way, it will be better and minimize manpower to harvest.

OK, after many years of talking, I finally bought an orchard at Tanjung Sepat. Bought it for the purpose of investment, but then later decided to keep it as a retreat.

It is a 1 acre land, with 3 rows of durian trees, about 18 trees. Not sure what breed, but the trees don't look big. Last season saw some durians, but didn't get the chance to collect them. They looked big, only 2 trees were fruiting.

So, now i need some knowledge of how to keep the durian trees healthy. Should I trim some branches so that they all get sunlight? Currently, some are canopy like, not sure this is the good shape.

also, many 'red ants'. how to get rid of them?

I wanna plant some langsat, dokong, coconut and maybe some vege. Where to buy the trees?

Hi all,

Do you think is it a good time to invest in durian orchard ?

get the best type!
