Durian is a variety with beautiful yellow flesh, thick meat, and small seeds. What sets it apart is that the durian segments closely resemble rice durian, and its flavor is reminiscent of the traditional durian.
This unique durian variety originated from Taiwan and was introduced to Vietnam by Mr. Nguyen Huu Khang in 2021, after his overseas experience. Mr. Khang successfully grafted this durian variety with female durian to create this exceptional fruit. Despite being a hybrid of an imported variety, durian thrives in the climate and soil conditions of Vietnam. The trees start bearing fruit after 18 months of planting, with each fruit weighing between 2.5 to 3 kg. A single tree can yield up to 20 fruits, but it is recommended to limit the fruiting to 5-7 per tree to ensure the best quality.
Currently, Mr. Khang has successfully hybridized three durian varieties: yellow-flesh durian, pink-flesh durian, and cream-colored durian. Among these, the yellow variety stands out with its distinctive and delicious flavor.
