Description

Durio D13, a popular durian variety from Malaysia, is a medium-sized tropical tree that typically reaches 25 to 30 meters in height. Its fruit is renowned for its creamy texture and sweet-bitter flavor with a subtle nutty undertone.

The D13 durian has dark yellow flesh, which is less pungent compared to other varieties. Rich in antioxidants, it offers potential health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and combating free radicals.

D13 thrives in well-drained, loamy soils with a pH range between 5.0 and 6.5. The plant requires a temperature range of 24°C to 32°C and does best in humid, tropical climates. It can grow in altitudes up to 800 meters but performs better in lower elevations.

An interesting anecdote about D13 is that it’s often dubbed the “beginner’s durian” due to its milder aroma, making it an ideal introduction for those hesitant about trying durian for the first time.
