Botanical Profile
Durio graveolens is a tropical evergreen fruit tree in the Malvaceae family, valued for its brightly colored fruits and distinctive flavor.
Scientific Name
Durio graveolens Becc. (commonly known as Red-Flesh Durian)
Local Name
Durian Merah, Red Durian
Native Habitat
Native to Borneo and surrounding Southeast Asian regions. It grows in humid tropical rainforests with high rainfall, rich soil, and warm temperatures year-round.
Germination Difficulty
Moderate — seeds require fresh sowing because viability decreases rapidly after drying.
Germination Timeframe
Usually 1–4 weeks under warm and humid conditions.
Growing Condition
Prefers full sun to partial shade, fertile well-draining soil, high humidity, and temperatures between 24–32°C. Young seedlings require regular moisture and protection from drought.
Collector Significance
Collectors value this species for its rare colorful flesh, limited cultivation outside Borneo, and importance in exotic durian collections.
