Nakakaaliw when I saw native Durian as Davao knows them.
After a lovely lunch at the place of Jonathan and Marlyn Polistico, we went around town to look at footwear...Liliw is footwear capital.
We can't believe our eyes when we say mountains of Durian at PHP50 per kilo. Wow, that is cheap. It was exactly like the Davao natives.
Our tourguide, Tita Pilar told us the story of how her uncle brought back some seeds from Davao where he worked. He and a brother (the father of Tita Pilar and Marlyn) planted in the mountians and was successful in propagting Durian. They shared the seeds with the other Liliw folks and that was how Liliw now reaps Durian in all its glory.
That was started in 1930 with a few seeds. Another lesson known from before but reiterated by this sight....plant and plant and you will reap.
Let Liliw be known for Durian too! Zac Sarian featured it today and we hope noses get led to quaint Liliw.

Duku Lanzones
Been so busy with work and relaxing...with relatives, friends and alone :)
One of the friendship trips we did was going to Laguna, Magdalena and Liliw. No chickens, no chicken talk...just eating and talking.
I did both beside this Duku Lanzones tree. It was the sweetest and easiest Lanzones to eat for me. The origin was from Thailand. It was easy to open, hardly any latex so not yukky to handle. Seeds were not bitter. It was sweet but had that bite of a Lanzones.
Literally, I stood by the tree while chatting with friends. When we had to walk further and away, I spotted another tree and stood by there!
Little did I know that Zac Sarian took pictures of me in several phases of my studying, tasting and eating to my heart's content. I hope he doesn't play on me and publish those unguarded moments.
I now see the importance of planting and planting. That farm we went to was just heaven with all the various fruiting trees and coolness the shades brought.
Exotic fruit trees are available at Teresa Orchard, Teresa, Rizal. We will carry these trees in our new location in Cubao.
