Durian is known to be the King of Fruits because of its unique taste, pungent smell, and dull green thorn-covered husk with thick, short, pointed spines. It is also only abundant in Davao City which makes it an exotic fruit even to the country. Davao’s rich, fertile land and climate makes it the most suitable place for sustained production of the freshest and tastiest Durian. Since the fruits are locally produced, prices in Davao are relatively cheaper than other parts of the country. 

The peak harvest time of Durian is August, right in time to the celebration of Kadayawan sa Dabaw. Davao has a total of 16 varieties of Durian, each unique in taste and texture. When on its peak harvest, Durian can even range to Php. 35.00 per kilo just like what happened during the Kadayawan celebration last year. Dabawenyos love the thick, creamy, indulgent flavors Durian offers. But did you know that Durians are best paired with other drinks and food too? Celebrate your Kadayawan 2020 with style and  enjoy your Durian, the Malagos way:

Malagos Garden Resort has been tagged by many as the best resort in Davao City and with this, we could not be more grateful. However, as much as we want to, we still cannot open our doors to celebrate Kadayawan 2020 with you. Despite this adversity, we are still trying our best to make sure we can be a part of your celebration through the Malagos Homegrown Produce. Celebrate Kadayawan with proudly local products and produce fresh from the farms of our local farmers. We may not know when this will end but we are hopeful that we will see you again soon. For the meantime, stay home, stay homegrown, and Happy Kadayawan everyone!
