Lahong

Durio dulcis

a.k.a. Durian Meragana

A rare, wild, red skinned durian, 6-10" in diameter, often collected in the jungle and quite difficult to open, with a deep caramel flavored flesh. Proabably the sweetest of all the durians. The spines are very prominent in this durian, making the fruit resemble a coiled up sea urchin.
