It’s as if the heavens have parted, and the divine fruit has descended from above, hanging tantalizingly close to the ground, ready to be plucked by the fortunate few. This natural phenomenon is a testament to the farm’s dedication to preserving the authentic growth of its durian trees and the incredible workings of nature. Foong Chan Kit, the man running this 10-acre farm and a former businessman who worked for the Asian Wall Street Journal (AWSJ) in Hong Kong, shares his awe for the low-hanging Musang Kings with TRP.
“It’s a natural rarity,” the 61-year-old from Kuala Lumpur explains, his eyes sparkling with wonder. “The low-hanging formation is not something we can control. It’s a gift from nature due to the tree’s unique growth pattern.
” As you walk through the farm’s lush grounds, you’ll be struck by the majestic presence of 350 durian trees, each with its own story. Among them, the Musang King trees stand tall, their branches reaching out like arms eager to share their precious fruit. And if you’re lucky, you might spot a low-hanging Musang King, a sight that will take your breath away.
Foong’s passion for durian cultivation is evident in every corne.
