"Developer plans to preserve durian tree with a S$500,000 net-like structure. IT IS is known as The Durian Catcher. That’s precisely what it does – catch durians. The structure consists of a funnel-like netting surrounding the tree, which will catch the durians and channel them down to the ground. Below the funnel, a second layer of netting will provide space for children to play on."
The Durian Catcher seems to be of a good cause which is to protect the aging Durian Tree but I am very surprised with the exorbitant price tag that comes along with it. The developer managed to "kill two birds with one stone" by building this durian catcher, they are able to preserve the tree and at the same time, the structure would serve as a playground for the children. I am sure that the developers will ensure the safety aspects of the structure and that no one would get hurt by falling durians while playing around the structure. The ripe durians would be shared between the residents of the estate as well and it probably is the only estate with a durian tree so I think that it's really amazing despite the price.
