I am not a durian expert, but when the price was quoted to be rm100 per kg, it interest me. Not that I will buy it for the cost is too much. But it interest me as, there are many people will to part with their cash for a taste that last a few minutes.

A video to introduce the durian. Another surprise, the story about durian is published overseas, a copy from Los Angeles Times is attached to prove the point.

DIMINISHING TREES

The Star 15 Jun 2021

As developments progresses, the natural forest and trees diminish. That is what happening in Malaysia, especially the development center in Selangor. There is a spot of Forest Reserve in the center of Shah Alam, the Bukit Cherakah, a green lung in the middle of the brick's jungle.

The Community Forest Society wants the plot to be gazetted as Forest Reserve, to retain its ecological, recreational and educational center. Many fear the greed for cash and revenue may push the green lung to be traded for development.

Many objected to the idea of building a interconnecting road across the park,

It remains hopeful that Malaysian Trees and Forest are preserved for the future generations.

PAPAYA MADU 2019 MAC

I am consolidating my blogs and going to delete a Malay Blog Dusun Kota. All its contents will be moved to this English blog and the language to be changed to English.

This is the tanslated version...

I just came back from shop in the Malaysian town of Salak South, Taman Seroja, to be exact, operated by some people from Acheh. It is a different country now, but it was so a few hundred years ago, when these used to be a country before the British and Dutch came. I bought a papaya, a rather large in size... 2 kgs. So I thought it is a good move to plant its eeds.

I like it, big in size and the empty centre is small.

This is the data..

Look the central cavity, about 1 inch across.

MY RED PAPAYA

As part of my consolidation exercise, I am going to reduce the number of blogs.

This posting "RED PAPAYA" is transferred and translatedfrom my Malay Blog Dusunkota. It will be deleting the blog.

On 2019 Mac, I bought some papaya seeds from Lazada. I was surprise to receive about 100 seeds for the price that I had paid. I planted for 3 trees, normally I double the seeds and discard the extra.

When it fruited, it was a regret because the fruits were small.

From my other blog..

Pada bulan Mac 2019, saya membeli biji betik dari L, dan apabila post sampai, saya terkejut kerana mendapat benih yang banyak, hampir 100 biji. Saya cuma boleh bertanam 3 pokok, kerana kawasan rumah kecil.

Benih baru di semai, kita tungga bila dia berbuah..
