The project’s results identify seven new clones, evaluated under north Queensland’s wet tropical conditions, offering the best opportunities to existing and future durian growers, to further develop their industry. It is also worth noting that although this project’s RIRDC funding ceased in July 2001, the researchers continued to collect data through to January 2002.
