Maybe ONG refers to the nursery in California?

Ok that's the easy part. I did look up ONG's website and called the number unsuccessfully.
There is no mention of this type on the website either

they dont take calls, you might get grandma that doesnt speak english.  You might get a response to an email.

theres people here that know Quang Ong the owner.  Im sure they can ask him next time they go there.

I talked to One the other night and he said he calls it "large golden", it is a seedling of another fruit, but he doesn't know what tree it came from. He also said it isn't as "chewy" that most of the other atemoyas have, it has more of a cherimoya texture. However it does get up to 4lbs.
