Durian is a pure tropical crop, and its phenological characteristics are that the daily average temperature of durian is above 22℃. Frost-free areas can be planted, and parts of China, Hainan and Yunnan provinces can be developed. Because durian can only grow and bear fruit in the high temperature climate all year round, even in the equatorial region, the highland above 600m above sea level can not grow durian or bear fruit because of the temperature drop.
There is a legend attached to it. During the Ming Dynasty in ancient China, when the sailing fleet arrived in Southeast Asia today and tasted the local specialty fruit, Zheng He greatly appreciated this fruit. However, the fruit can only be harvested once a year, so it was named nostalgia, and later generations took it as a homonym, called durian.
