Durian is a tropical evergreen tree with a tall, upright growth habit and a dense, spreading canopy. It is well adapted to warm, humid climates and performs best in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Plants grown from seed establish gradually and are suitable for garden planting in tropical regions. Consistent warmth, high humidity, and regular moisture support steady growth and long-term development.
