On the other hand, durian will ripen sooner or later, depending on the soil and weather each year. Specifically, if the durian growing area experiences drought and little rain, that year’s durian season may start earlier because such climatic conditions cause the soil to dry quickly and stimulate early fruiting. On the contrary, if an area has prolonged rainstorms, cold weather and a slow dry season that makes the soil wet, the tree will bear fruit later. This is also the reason why the harvest season in some places starts 3 to 3.5 months later.
