Residents at Lorong Lew Lian have been reminded not to pick durians from trees in the area, as the seasonal fruiting of the well-known durian trees once again draws attention.
During a site visit on Tuesday (June 2), AsiaOne observed residents passing by the area and instinctively looking up at the trees, which line a roughly 100-metre slope beside Block 5 at Lorong Lew Lian.
There are reportedly 13 durian trees in that estate.
A resident said that she had seen neighbours loitering in the mornings, apparently waiting for durians to drop, reported Lianhe Zaobao. Some who managed to collect fallen fruit described it as “slightly sweet” in taste.

She suggested that authorities could better estimate when the fruits are likely to drop so residents can take precautions or install barriers to keep people away from the trees.
