Durian is common throughout Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. In the Philippines, durian grows only in Mindanao while in the rest of the country the trees are few and far between. It is also an important crop in Vietnam and Burma (Myanmar). The fruit is famous (or infamous) for its odor.
In Latin America, it is used to protect water courses (hence its name “madre de agua”), and has been abundantly planted around springs, river banks and wells to prevent water erosion (see Environmental impact below) (Rios-Katto, 2001). Trichanthera gigantea is native to the Andean foothills of Colombia.
