@botakspirit: The durian tree at Lorong Lew Lian Blk 5 has become a famous spot for curious visitors. Neighbors gather there, making it a community tree where people reunite, especially those who used to live in the area, like me.🤗 Lorong Lew Lian (meaning "durian" in Hokkien) was named in 1956, honoring the region's agricultural past. In November 1995, then-Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong planted several durian saplings here. Today, 13 of these mature trees remain between Blocks 4 and 5. Key highlights of the estate's durian heritage include: * The Name: "Lew Lian" is the Hokkien translation for durian. The road was named in 1956 to reflect the area's fruit plantations and agricultural kampong roots. * The 1995 Planting: During a Clean and Green Week launch, then-PM Goh Chok Tong and other ministers planted durian saplings (specifically D24 varieties) in the estate. * Maturation: It took about 17 years for the trees to first flower. They now regularly bear fruit. * Current Status: The estate is home to 13 durian trees. Residents and town councils remind the public not to pick the falling fruits for safety reasons. #lorlewlianduriantree #loronglewlian #hdbduriantree #duriantreeatlorlewlian #sgnews
