The cultivation of D66 Durian Raja begins with vegetative propagation—primarily through grafting or budding—to preserve the specific genetic traits of the vintage parent tree, ensuring young saplings are true-to-type before being transplanted into deep, fertile soil with adequate spacing for mature canopy growth. Throughout its development, which sees grafted trees begin bearing fruit in about 4 to 6 years, rigorous orchard care is necessary, including controlled watering routines with a brief dry spell to stimulate flower bud initiation, balanced nutrient supply during flushing and fruit set, and targeted pruning to prevent disease. Finally, to ensure D66 reaches its full creamy consistency, pale yellow hue, and signature sweet flavor with subtle bitterness, the fruits are traditionally allowed to fully ripen on the branch and drop naturally before harvesting.
