Durian Scene Costa Rica August 2023 - Monthong, Musang King, D99

We tried Monthong and Musang King for the first time in Costa Rica and we were impressed.
Trying tree ripened Monthong for the first time made us decide to plant more of this variety on our farm - it is immensely satisfying to bite into the thick flesh of the large pods and have our mouth full with this goodness.
Our smallest durian muncher loved the d99 while the more experienced durian enthusiast were blown away by the complexity and richness of the Musang King.

@@FruitForest.CostaRica can I come to your farm? I loved durians and mangosteen

[@FruitForest.CostaRica]

Our farm is still young, needs a few years to have excess fruit😇

[@João_Viajante]

Wow! How wonderful that you have such fresh available to you! Me and my wife would love to ask when is the best season to find durian in Costa Rica? Is it available in September or October? Or should we pick a different season?

[@FruitForest.CostaRica]

On the Pacific side the season is fairly consistent around July-August.
On the Caribbean side it could occur any time of the year based on weather patterns.

@@FruitForest.CostaRica Thank you so much for the fast reply! I really appreciate that, I'm subbing right now :)
By any chance on the Carribean side what do you consider the best farmers markets for finding exotic fruits in general?

[@FruitForest.CostaRica]

Limon, big Farmer’s Market on Friday
and Puerto Viejo small market, Peter Kring’s stall has rare stuff there

[@faizalmohd9536]

Definately not up to the malaysian musang king standard judging by the less color & wringkleness of the sample. Nonetheless still good as you mentioned. Enjoy. 😊

[@FruitForest.CostaRica]

This is a young tree fruit, there is room for improvement.

[@tunizarorodrigo7427]

Fruit quality improves as the tree grows older. That fruit came from a very young tree.
