Book synopsis

Durian is extensively grown in tropical regions, the major producers being Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines. The tree is also grown in northern Australia, some South American countries and in Africa. Although to many novices its smell is notoriously offensive, its taste can become a passion and it's is one of the most popular fruits in South-East Asia. To quote the 19th-century naturalist, A.R. Wallace: "To eat durian is a new sensation worth a voyage to the East to experience". This book is a comprehensive scientific volume on this "king of tropical fruit". It provides information on the biology, propagation and use of the fruit, and descriptions of the scientific basis of production practices and orchard management, as well as post-harvest processing.
