ACCESSIBLE POSITION: Tree admirer Shia Shui Poh takes a closer look at the durian isu flowers at the base of the tree.
KAPIT: A special durian isu tree in Kampung Muhibbah Bletih has received the attention of many admirers.
This is because its flowers can be found not only on branches high above the ground, but also on the trunk at the base of the tree, including near the roots.
Having the bright red flowers so easily accessible at ground level is particularly interesting to those who enjoy both durian fruits and flowers but have never seen the blooms up close on the tree.
STUNNING COLOUR: The bright red durian flowers are seen up close.
The flowers have a sweet and fragrant scent due to the nectar.
This particular tree can be found in the backyard of an employee of a bank, who only wished to be identified as Ali.
He said the tree produces durians with bright red flesh that is thin but very tasty.
