Thanks for article
Mandong, lai, Durio connatus and Simas are different durians, fruits from far are similar, but taste are not. Grow pattern also different

Must be super rare. I agree with Lindsay in not really liking kutejensis. Curious about this one though

Kutejensis can really vary.  We ate an excellent one in Tenom with the manager of the collection at the agricultural park.
Earlier this year in Central Kalimantan there was tons of Kutejensis for sale at stands.  We bought some and ate them and, not any good.  We’d see others with a very different presentation, and buy those.  It’s what the people were eating but it wasn’t to our taste.  The guide, Maryoto, said they were hybrids.  I don’t know how he knows that.  Many were split but the fruit was not fermented.  Eventually we did eat one that really was good.  I don’t know how those were harvested either.
I have a couple of these Kalimantan seedlings started, we’ll see.

Sorry, just reach my contact in Indonesia, I  made a little mistake.

“ _Durio connatus_ is the scientific name of "Mandong"

Between Simas and connatus (mandong) have very different fruit characters. Simas is one of the _zibethinus_ families that is close to the Lai type, because it has a very low alcohol content”
