Monthong durian was brought to Vietnam in the early 1990s. Initially, it was grown in the Southeast (Tien Giang province, Ben Tre
province, Vinh Long province, Can Tho city), later brought up for trial seeding in the Central Highlands.
Monthong durians have an egg shape (one big round head, one small round head), the spines are sparse and large. With the quality of fresh yellow meat, thick, smooth, fibrous-free, and the output is uniform throughout the year, Monthong durian has a moderate
aroma and taste, which is very suitable for believers who like gentle sweetness.
The way to choose Monthong durian is to choose the fruits that are large and even, the stem is fresh, the waist is round, not twisted
when tapping on the fruit, it sounds “pump” and it is thick flesh. The flesh part is clearly shown along the fruit body. When separating the seeds, the flesh is thick and beautiful, with a light aroma, and a strong sweetness. These are the most delicious Monthong fruits.
Today, with advanced agricultural techniques, Vietnamese gardeners have a method of stimulating fruit trees, limiting pests and
diseases, and achieving high economic efficiency.
