How many trees did Chong have before the withering occurred?

Question

Accepted Answer

Chong had 500 durian trees before the withering occurred.

Chong Yok Fon, a Musang King durian entrepreneur, reported that 15 of her durian trees withered and died over the past two months. These affected trees were part of a larger orchard of 500 durian trees. The loss is estimated to be over RM100,000 due to the dry spell.
Loss of 15 Durian Trees

The entrepreneur's orchard in Kampung Pulai near Gua Musang experienced the death of 15 durian trees. Each of these trees was capable of producing approximately 200 durian fruits per season. The trees could not be saved due to a lack of sufficient water supply during the current dry spell affecting the country.
Impact on Remaining Trees and Yield

Chong expressed concern for the survival of her remaining durian trees, which were flowering at the time. She anticipates that the yield of durian fruits expected in June will be slightly affected by the prolonged dry spell. The difficulty in sourcing water has increased as two ditches previously used for irrigation have begun to dry up.
Daily Monitoring and Replacement Plans

Chong and her six employees are engaged in daily monitoring of the trees and watering them. This effort aims to mitigate further losses. Having lost 10 durian trees during a similar dry spell last year, Chong plans to plant new trees soon to replace the ones that have died.
