Durian Garden: How to Get and Plant Your First Durian Tree

Quick answer

Your first durian seed is free in Durian Garden. During the starting tutorial, step onto the FARM PLOT pad marked “Grow your own crops!” and “FREE” to receive a farm plot and a durian seed, then plant the seed in the soil of your own plot. More seeds come from the seed shop near the selling area.

A new farmer in Durian Garden gets one free seed and one plot during the starting tutorial. This guide covers how to plant that first seed on your farm, where to buy more seeds, and how to water and fertilize the young tree. If you are still working through the opening, the Durian Garden beginner guide covers the rest of the tutorial.

Get your first durian seed and plot

During the starting tutorial, step onto the FARM PLOT pad marked “Grow your own crops!” and “FREE”. It grants a farm plot and a durian seed, and the banner “You got a free durian seed! Plant it on your farm.” confirms the seed. The seed that lands in your hotbar is a Kradumthong durian seed.

Plant the seed on your own farm plot

Planting happens on your own farm plot, the one the tutorial gives you. You need the plot before a seed can go into the soil.

1. Keep the seed in your hotbar.
2. Go to your own farm plot.
3. Plant the seed in the plot's soil. The seed goes into the ground and the young tree starts to grow.

If you have run out of room, the Durian Garden upgrades guide covers the farm purchases, including the 5,000 rubber plantation unlock.

Buy more seeds at the seed shop

Extra tree seeds come from the seed shop near the selling area. A seed at the shop cost 200; prices can differ and change. The stock restocks, and the banner “The Seed Shop has restocked!” announces it.

Shop labels are in Thai, so you may not be able to tell which variety you are buying, and you may not know what you have until the tree grows. The Durian Garden durian varieties guide covers the different types.

Water and fertilize the young tree

The tutorial offers a WATER WELL labeled “Get a watering can!” for $50, with the confirmation “BUY WATER WELL for $50?”. Buying it gives you the Watering Can, with the prompt “Click the soil to water your trees.”, plus 3 free Basic Tree Tonics and the instruction to “Use one on a tree that says NEEDS FERTILIZER.” The $50 price and the three tonics are the tutorial's values; treat them as examples that can change.

Click the soil with the Watering Can to water a tree, and use a Basic Tree Tonic when a tree shows NEEDS FERTILIZER.

From planted seed to first harvest

A planted tree grows and produces durians. Harvest the fruit, load it into the back of the truck, and drive to the sales zone to sell it. The Durian Garden how to sell durians guide picks up from there.
