Identification, research and what to check before buying βDurio zibethinus Murray Β· Malvaceae
The accepted name in the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy, the plant taxonomic backbone.
Protologue citation: Murray. (1774). In: Syst. Veg. (Ed. 13) 581.
A protologue is the original description of a species. It provides the naming context and diagnostic characters to compare when checking a plantβs identity. Other studies address their own research questions; their findings need to be read in that context before applying them to cultivation or the offered stock.

Graft compatibility and clonal characteristics of Monthong Durian
Durio zibethinus cv. Monthong ("Golden Pillow") is the most commercially celebrated Thai durian cultivar. Horticultural propagation research records vegetative grafting techniques, scion compatibility, and juvenile clonal vigor.

Graft union healing and vascular continuity
Horticultural studies demonstrate that successful Durio cleft grafts establish cambial alignment and xylem connectivity within 6β8 weeks under tropical shade. (Nanthachai, S., 1994)
For buyers: Inspect the graft union on the lower stem. The union should be callused and firm. Do not remove stabilizing parafilm until the scion produces active terminal growth.
Scope: Laboratory histological evaluations do not predict stress responses to intercontinental bare-root transit.
Putting the research into practice
Commercial Monthong plants are produced via approach grafting, cleft grafting, or patch budding onto vigorous seedling rootstocks. Evaluating a grafted Monthong consignment requires verifying an established, lignified graft union without fungal decay at the wrap site.
