Lai is Durio Kutejensis. Also called Lukak. Depending on area.
And there are multiple mature trees between Tully and cooktown.
Lai durian should have persistent dehydrated filaments at the base of the stalk. None of the images show that so the images does not show a Durian Lai. It's more likely a Durio Zibethinus X Durio Kutjensis or a Durio Zibehinus variety. So Lindsy is probably correct.

Good to see your success with Kaki grafting.
Please let us know if growth vigor is better then single root stock comparison tree.
Peace

fruit nerd:
Certainly no expert but I thought that Durian Lai referred to Durio Zibethinus X Durio Kutjensis hybrids, though it sounds like Durio Kutjensis is also called Lai in some places. Common names can sometimes be confusing.

TropicalFruitHunters:
Cassowary...I was looking for the true kutejensis.  I like the look of the fruit and flesh.  But just can't really trust any of the ads over here when they normally poach pictures of something entirely different than described.  Translation is an issue as well.  Some may say "grafted", most translate to "plugged in top", "mated", and others.  Thankfully Tong Chom over here has some good contacts he's hooked me up with.  Lindsay too.  Always feel a little better making purchases with those folks.

yeah and it takes years to get the experience to be able to distinguish the seedlings of different durian species, oxleyanus and graveolens is easy but kutjensis and dulcis is harder to distinguish from zibethinus and other sp. . lancifolius is easy becuase the leaf is very lanceolate.
It would be good with a infographic guide on how to distinguish different Durio sp. seedlings so that there will be less (EXPENSIVE) misstakes for future growers. You all know what I mean it's like a decade long comittment!

ben mango:
Kutejensis leaves look different than zibethinus. They are bigger, similar to graveolens
