It's the only durian species commercially cultivated at scale outside its native region, and because it's open-pollinated, individual trees can vary in fruit colour, odour, size and form. This plant is the D24 variety, also known as Sultan Durian — one of the best-known durian varieties alongside Musang King. D24's flesh is golden-yellow, creamy, bittersweet, less fibrous than many varieties, and easier to eat thanks to its larger seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e More than 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content; ideal pH 6.5-8.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClimate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist tropical to subtropical climates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Spacing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest grown directly in the ground, though it can start in a pot at least 25x25 inches.
