YUNNAN, (China): When farmer Jia Guohua planted a discarded durian seed on his small plot of land in Mengla county back in 2010, little did he know that his action was a microcosm of development plans in South-west China’s Yunnan province.
Durian trees typically take seven to 10 years to mature and bear fruit, and this year Jia’s tree bore 16 large, spiky durians.
