There are more than 100 durian clones in Malaysia. A majority of them are local species. These clones are different in terms of tree morphology, flowering season, fruiting ability, fruit quality, immunity towards disease or pest and other agronomic characteristics.

The durian (pronounced  is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio and the Malvaceae family (although some taxonomists place Durio in a distinct family, Durionaceae. Widely known and revered in southeast Asia as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk.

I was taught to eat durian by my father at the age of 4. Peeping into the kitchen late one evening, I saw my parents crouched on the floor over a makseshift carpet of newspapers, energetically ripping the husks of a stinky green fruit apart.

There have been many attempts to make the taste of durian more palatable or to dilute it.
