Why does a durian tree from a cutting beard fruits faster than if the tree is grown from a seed?

A durian tree grown from a cutting bears fruit faster than one grown from a seed because cuttings are clones of mature plants, already possessing the genetic traits and maturity needed for fruit production. In contrast, seed-grown trees take longer to reach reproductive maturity, as they need to develop from young seedlings into fully grown trees. This accelerated growth in cuttings allows for quicker fruiting, often within a few years, compared to the longer timeframe required for seed-grown trees.
