Whether durian is out of season in September depends on the origin and variety of durian.
Generally, the ripening season of durian is mainly in summer and autumn. In China, the production areas of durian are mainly concentrated in the southern regions, such as Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, etc. Durians in these areas usually ripen between June and August, so in September, in these areas, durians may be out of season.
However, in Southeast Asia, such as Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc., the ripening season of durian is usually between March and May. Therefore, in these areas, durian may still be in season in September.
In addition, the ripening season of different varieties of durian is also different. Some varieties may ripen in the summer, while others may mature in the fall. Therefore, even within the same region, different varieties of durian may have different ripening seasons.
To sum up, to determine whether durian is out of season in September, it is necessary to understand the origin and variety of durian, as well as the local ripening season. If you want to buy durian, it is recommended to consult a local fruit vendor at a local market or supermarket to find out what is happening in the local durian**.
