Abstrakt: AbstractWild king fruit (Duriospp, Malvaceae) is a threatened native tree species in Kalimantan, Indonesia which needs significant and urgent cultivation. This study characterized the appearance, flavor, and germination rate of four durian species D. zibethinus, D. dulcis, D. kutejensis,and D. oxleyanus. The results showed that D. oxleyanuswas one of the superior fruits with a very sweet flavor, smooth texture, and juicy flesh despite its green thorny exterior. Four months after sowing, the germination capacities (p-value 0.18) were as follows: D. kutejensis7% (± 1.4%), D. dulcis0%, D. oxleyanus1% (± 0%), and D. zibethinus21% (± 26.2%) at Banua. In Bogor, West Java, seed germination was: D. zibethinus58% (± 2.8%) which developed into seedlings, D. kutejensis10% (± 0%), and 0% for both D. dulcisand D. oxleyanus). Ex-situconservation of the four Duriospecies by seed propagation needs to be conducted carefully to avoid the failure of seedling growth.
