The allure of oversized fruits has captivated netizens, sparking curiosity and fascination. Whether it’s watermelon, jackfruit, banana, or durian, these colossal creations are garnering special attention online.
While jackfruit with massive weights has been trending, durian doesn’t typically boast the same oversized proportions. However, netizens were astounded by a 23-kilogram durian that made headlines, and the real surprise lay within its formidable exterior.

This particular durian was harvested from a garden in Thailand. Despite its massive weight, it perched precariously on a high branch, requiring the efforts of four men to climb and retrieve it. One person steadied the ladder, another held the durian, a third cut the stem, and the fourth assisted with transportation—a challenging task that had everyone holding their breath, as a slight misstep could have injured those below.

According to the video owner, this durian weighed an impressive 23 kilograms, a rare weight for this type of fruit.
In another video by the same uploader, the reveal of the fruit’s interior was equally shocking. A single segment of this 23-kilogram durian was comparable in size to a 1.5-liter soda bottle, leaving viewers in awe.

– It would take a week to finish eating this fruit.
– I’m glad they managed to harvest it safely; that could’ve been a painful experience otherwise.
– If someone tried to catch this giant durian with their hands like in those other harvest videos, they’d probably need an X-ray afterward!
– It’s not just the fruit that’s giant; the segments are huge, too.
