Today let's talk about the Musang King durian from Malaysia.

What many people may not know is that the Musang King durian tree actually has old trees and new trees.

Old tree durian - refers to a genuine, authentic Musang King durian tree that is well-rooted and of high quality.

Since the Musang King durian takes 7-8 years to mature, an old tree means it takes 10 years.....

Why are old trees better, or more flavorful? Because the roots of old trees are deeply embedded, allowing them to absorb more minerals from the soil (the flesh of old durians is somewhat "dark green", with a sweet-bitter taste, bitterness intertwined with astringency, astringency with sweetness, full of twists and turns, leaving a sweet aftertaste in the mouth).

New tree - refers to grafting the branch of Musang King onto other already mature durian trees (such as D24, 101). This method is similar to a web3 hard fork. The planting time is about 2-3 years, and it will yield fruits that resemble Musang King. The reason we say resemble is that the tail end of the durian will still have a star shape ⭐️, but the taste and texture will still differ (not as creamy, the flesh will be stringy, very sweet, seeds are relatively large, and the taste lacks a certain nuttiness, etc.).

If it doesn’t specify that it’s the old tree variety of Musang King on the market now, you can assume it’s this new tree variety. The price of genuine old tree varieties can be 1-2 times that of new trees, and black thorn fruit is even available at a price but hard to find.

But for the average person, a new Musang King is actually fine, after all, it's just about the experience (as long as you've tried it), and most people can't really tell the difference. Unless you are a food connoisseur or someone who really enjoys this flavor, seeking a more extreme taste stimulation, otherwise it's hard to justify such an expensive price.

However, in recent years, due to export obstacles and overproduction, the price of new tree Musang King has plummeted, while the price of old trees remains strong. Moreover, as people become more discerning, the price is subtly rising.

In fact, if you look at it this way, the old and new trees of Musang King durian (hard fork version) are very similar to our industry's DeFi and AI.

With the sudden popularity of Musang King, more and more fork versions have emerged, squeezing everyone's attention. However, as the supply becomes too abundant, the tricks of scammers have increased, leading to a decline or even extinction of the prices of new varieties.

After going through the baptism of cycles, only the old tree (original version), with its roots deep and firmly grounded, continues to thrive. When the market returns (water), the price of the old tree will rise even more vigorously.

The older it gets, the more it is worth savoring - this is not only about the Musang King durian, but also about the veterans who have endured the trials of time.
