That’s why durian lovers from around the world travel to Penang to experience the original high hill old durian, where nature, time, and tradition come together in every bite. 

Penang is one of the earliest places in Malaysia where durians were systematically planted, dating back to the late 1800s to early 1900s during the British colonial era. Some estates now have trees over 80 years old, passed down through generations. Many are still fruiting — often producing durians with extremely rich flavor.

Why Old Trees in Penang Are Special

1) Deep-rooted heritage: Many were planted from seeds (not grafted), giving genetic diversity and unique flavors.

2) Rich volcanic-like soil: Western Penang Island’s lateritic soil and steady rainfall suit durian perfectly.

3) Selective cultivation: Farmers have kept the best old trees and grafted new varieties (like Ang Bak, D11, Hor Lor, etc.) from them.

4) Geographical branding: “Balik Pulau Durian” is now a recognized brand 

Here are the key scientific and practical reasons for why old trees often taste better :

1) Root maturity
Old trees have deep, extensive root systems that can absorb a wider range of minerals and nutrients from the soil — this enriches the fruit’s flavor and aroma.

2) Balanced energy distribution
Mature trees focus more energy on fruit rather than growing leaves or branches, leading to denser, creamier flesh.

3) Stable genetics
Older trees that have been fruiting for decades often come from seed-grown “true kampung” stock — their fruit is genetically unique and stable, with strong natural flavor.

4) Soil–tree harmony
After decades in the same location, the soil ecosystem (microbes, fungi, minerals) becomes balanced with the tree’s biology, enhancing nutrient absorption and taste consistency.

Gurun Kedah Agricultural Land Ideal For Solar Farm

Gurun agricultural land suitable for solar farm for auction. 

-336 acres freehold international lot
-About 4~5km from main road.
-Reserved price
-Nearest PMU 5km away
-Flat land with some hill peaks at 80M to 130M

This agricultural estate in Kuala Muda Daerah, Mukim Gurun, Kedah, presents an exciting opportunity for both renewable energy and resource-based development. Spanning over 336 acres, the property is a freehold international lot with an express condition for rubber estate use, yet it offers clear potential for a solar farm as well as red earth excavation.
Accessibility to the estate is provided by two separate routes. The first is a fully tarred road that includes a bridge crossing, although the exact loading capacity of the bridge remains to be confirmed. The second road transitions into an off-road path midway, offering an alternative access point to the site. Within the estate, the terrain is diverse, combining expansive flat land with several hills, the peaks of which rise between 80 and 130 meters in height. This topography provides both development potential and scenic variety.
One special condition attached to the land title requires the surrender of approximately 10 acres for local dwelling purposes. Apart from this, the estate also benefits from a man-made pond, which secures an uninterrupted water supply — a useful feature for both agricultural and solar farm operations. The land will be sold via auction on an as-is, where-is basis, providing an opportunity for investors to unlock its hidden potential.
From an infrastructure perspective, the estate is strategically located near energy facilities. The nearest PMU (Phasor Measurement Unit) station is situated about five kilometers away, while two additional PMU stations can be found within a ten-kilometer radius. This proximity to power infrastructure enhances the estate’s attractiveness for solar farm development.
