2022-08-09 08:01:01 Happy National Day everyone!
 
Did you know that we have a durian named after Singapore?
 
The Singapore Durian (Durio singaporensis) is a native species that grows up to 36m in height. However, its fruits grow to only 10cm in size and do not have as much flesh as other edible Durian species.
 
It can be found locally in Nee Soon Swamp Forest and in the vicinities of Upper Seletar Reservoir and MacRitchie Reservoir.
