The difference between durian with golden pillow and Maoshanwang
1, different picking methods
Maoshanwang is not sown naturally, but usually cultivated by grafting, and its picking method is completely different from that of durian with golden pillow. Due to market demand, gold pillows need to be picked in advance. Farmers need to prepare thick leather gloves, put on helmets and prepare a knife, then climb the durian tree and cut the roots of durian with a knife for picking. Maoshanwang durian falls to the ground when it matures, and it is generally peeled and frozen and imported into China.
2. Price difference
Durian with golden pillow is the most common durian in supermarkets. It is generally produced in Thailand and its price is relatively low. Maoshanwang durian usually needs to climb to the tree to pick, so its cost price is relatively high.

Maoshanwang durian is produced in Malaysia and is most famous in Pahang. A large number of plants have been planted in Laobu, Wendong, Liuji and Shuangxilan in Pahang Prefecture.
